An elderly British gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane.

At the French immigration desk, the man took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on bag.

"You have been to France before, Monsieur?" the Immigration officer asked, sarcastically.

The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously.

"Then you should know well enough to have your passport ready."

The British gentleman says, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible. The British always have to show their passports on arrival in France!"

The elderly gentleman gave the French Immigration Officer a long hard look.

Then he quietly explained;

"Well, the last time I was here, I came ashore on Juno Beach on D-Day in June 1944, and I couldn't find any flippin Frenchmen to show it to."

Nobody at the arrival ? This isn't surprising, this gentleman was on the wrong beach, reserved to Canadian troops.

If he had been on Sword Beach, near LCI 527 or LCI 523, he would have found sufficient French people (speaking English besides, unfortunately with a strong Scottish accent, learned at Achnacarry) to show his passport.

But it's true that it was more dangerous on Sword ...
