A 93-year-old Army veteran arrived in Paris by plane.
As he was fumbling in his bag for a passport, a stern French customs agent asked if he had been in France before. He admitted that he had indeed been previously. The lady then said, “Then you should know to have your passport out and ready, Sir.”
The veteran said, “Well, I didn’t have to show it last time.”
“Impossible!” says the customs agent, “all foreigners have always had to show their passports to enter the country.”
The veteran responded “Well, when I came ashore on D-Day in 1944, I couldn’t find any f*cking Frenchmen to show it to!”
Explanation: This joke hinges on the veteran’s sharp retort. When criticized for not having his passport ready, he reminds the agent that during the 1944 D-Day landings, France was under N@zi occupation—implying no Frenchmen were around to check passports then. The humor lies in historical context and unexpected bluntness.
