As he approached a French customs official after deplaning in Paris, an American suddenly realized that he had misplaced his passport. The Frenchman then barked imperiously, "How could you be so negligent as to misplace your passport?" Searching his pockets, the American finally located the document and handed it to the official, but as he did so, he remarked, "the last time I visited France, I didn't have a passport."

"How could that be?" the Frenchman harrumphed. "Every American needs a passport to enter France." The American replied, "my previous visit to France began on June 6, 1944. When I landed on Omaha Beach, no one there asked me for my passport."

True or not...who knows...

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies.
At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English.
He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?'

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, 'Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

You could have heard a pin drop.
