The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he fumbled for his passport.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection."
The American said, "The last time I was in France, I didn't have to show a passport."
Impossible, You Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-day in '44, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."
