Grins & Giggles Trip of a Lifetime An elderly Canadian gentleman of 92 arrived in Paris by plane. At the French customs desk, the man took a fewminutes to locate his passport in his carry-on bag. “Have you been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked, sarcastically. The elderly gentleman admitted that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.” The Canadian said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.” “Impossible, Canadians always have to show your passports on arrival in France!” The Canadian senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look, then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came ashore at Juno Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find any Frenchmen to show it to.” Travel Truths A passenger piled his luggage on the scale at an airline counter in New York and said to the ticket agent: “I’m flying to Los Angeles. I want the large bag sent to Denver and the two small ones to Cincinnati.” “I’m sorry sir, but we can’t do that,” said the ticket agent. “That’s good to hear, because that’s where they ended up the last time I flew this route.” - - - - - - A couple was touring the capitol in Washington, D.C. and the guide pointed out a tall, benevolent gentleman as the congressional chaplain.
