An Englishman awaiting the train to Paris at the station restaurant in Calais beckoned to the waiter and asked him in French laden with a heavy British accent, "Do you know the man smoking a pipe and reading a newspaper over by the heater?"
"No sir. So many of our patrons are just passing through."
"Well, please call the manager for me then."
When the manager arrived, the Englishman repeated his question.
The manager scrutinized the man by the heater.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I've never seen him before."
With that, the Englishman rose and walked over to the man.
"Please accept my apologies, sir, for speaking to you without having been properly introduced," he said, "but your coat is on fire!"
