Got this in an email. I made one small edit to comply with HN rules and keep this a family oriented type board. It's obviously a good joke but also makes you think about how many of these elderly citizens we see in life have probably had some genuine E-ticket ride experiences. Enjoy.

The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he fumbled for his passport.
"You 'ave been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection."
The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible. You Americans alwayz 'ave 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, I couldn't find any F-ing Frenchmen to show it to."
