With apologies to froggy.

The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane and at French
customs he fumbled for his passport. "You have been to France before
Monsieur?", the customs officer asked sarcastically.

The American 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 and said, "I assure
you, that when I came ashore on Omaha Beach in Normandy on D-day in 1944,
there were no damn Frenchmen anywhere on that beach."

Sounds like the folks with the " I want souvenirs" license plates are getting
to ya. At least they go home in the summer.

We don't want them here either. Keep them permanently.
