Default French Joke

A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour.
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. 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 American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!"

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on
D-Day in '44 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find any damn Frenchmen to show it to."

2 French jokes for you:

1) How many Frenchman does it take to defend Paris?



Dunno - it's never been done


2) When the terrorist bombings in Spain occured recently the French Security forces upgraded their security rating from "Hide" to "Run". The only 2 levels remaining above this are "Surrender" and "Collaborate".

I forgot where I heard this one:

Why do they call the French people "frogs"?

Because "Cheese-eating surrender monkey" was taken.
