UNITED STATES PASSPORTS IN FRANCE...

At a French airport, a group of American retired teachers recently went to France on a tour. Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, was part of the tour group. At French Customs, he took a few extra minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on luggage while he was in front of the French Customs officer.

"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the French Customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. The French Customs officer responded nastily; "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The American gentleman replied; "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible!" barked the French Customs officer; "Americans always have to show your US passports upon arrival in France."

The elderly American 83-year old gentleman gave the Frenchman a long hard and fierce look. Then he quietly explained; "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."
