Not strictly relavent, but I just read this on another forum and thought it might amuse.
"An elderly Scottish gentleman arrived in Paris by plane.
At French customs he fumbled for his passport. "You have
been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked
sarcastically. The old gent 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 Scotsman said, "The last time I came to France I didn't
have to show my passport."
"Impossible, old man. You Scottish persons always have to show your
passports on arrival in France!"
The old Scotsman gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then,
with the feel of acid on his words, calmly stated, "I assure you,
young man, that when I came ashore on that Beach in Normandy
on D-Day in 1944, there wasn't a Frenchman anywhere to be seen."
