Waff goes to France......

[jeeeensy]

Waffy , an elderly British absentmindedly arrived at French immigration at Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris and fumbled for his passport.
'You have been to France before Monsieur?' the official asked in an aggressive tone.
Waffy, smiled and admitted that he had been to France before.
'In that case you should know enough to have your passport ready for inspection,' barked the bad-tempered officer.
Waff gently informed the man that the last time he came to France he did not have to show his passport or any other documents.
'Pas possible, old man. You British are always have to show your passports on arrival in 'la belle France.'
Waffy gave the Frenchman a long hard look. 'I assure you, young man, that when I came ashore on Omaha Beach in Normandy on D-Day in 1944, there was no damned Frenchman on the beach asking for passports.'

Great one, reminds me of another classic:


A BA (maybe still BOAC then) aircraft, sometime in the early 70's of last century, after a troublesome landing in fog at Cologne international airport, took a wrong turn and ended up in the wrong taxiing lane.

Cologne airtraffic control reacted immediately, in a very ungentlemanlike fashion, on the open frequency for everyone to hear:

"BA 1234, you've already made a messy landing, and now you're in the wrong lane obstructing traffic........Have you never been to Cologne before?"

To which the British captain, ever so polite but using same frequency, replied:

"I came to Cologne once before, that was in 1944,......it was dark, and that time I DID NOT LAND......"
