"Two Frenchmen On Vacation"
Two Frenchmen take the ferry to Dover and
then the train up to London for a vacation,
arriving at Waterloo Station. They look at
each other, and one says: "Waterloo Station?
What a strange name."
They then take the Underground and come out
at Trafalgar Square. They look at each other again,
and the second one says: "Trafalgar Square?
How odd." They then walk around the city and
arrive at Agincourt Lane. They look at each once
more, and the first one says: "Agincourt Lane?
The English must be completely mad. They
name all their places after defeats!"

"An American Visits France"
An elder absent minded American arrived at
French customs at Paris airport and fumbled
for his passport. "You have been to France
before Monsieur?", the customs officer asked
sarcastically.
The ancient Yank admitted that he had been
to France before.
"Then you should know enough to have your
passport ready for inspection," snapped the
irate official.
The American said that the last time he came
to France he did not have to show his passport.
"Impossible, old man. You Americans always
have to show your passports on arrival in France."
The old American 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 Frenchman on the
beach, asking to see my passport!"
