A group of Canadian retired teachers recently went to France on a tour.
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 86, was on the tour.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
The Canadian said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible!" barked the officer. "Canadians always have to show their passports on arrival in France."
The Canadian senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look.
Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Juno Beach on D-Day in '44 to help liberate your country, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."
