An American at the French airport
An American gent in his 80’s arrives at Charles De Gaulle airport and
ends up at the customs counter.
“Bonjour Monsieur, passport sil vous plais”
“Sorry, I didn’t bring a passport.”
(in terrible English now) “What do you mean you didn’t bring a
passport? How do you expect to come to France without a passport?”
Well, I came here 65 years ago. When I hit the beach, I didn’t need a
passport then. Come to think of it, there wasn’t a frenchman around
to show it to.

I am spanish, more specificly from Barcelona. I have lived in Paris for 3 and a half years, so yes, other than being not too far off the french border I can say I pretty much know frenchies. What can I say about them? Well, mine is really a personal opinion of course. I simply think they are total fucking assholes.
After leaving their country and every time I get back for a reason whatever I say to myself what a privilege it is to travel around the French country being aware that you’ve got a return ticket in the bag… because the minute you cross the border (any border with France) your stomach is put to test; their bitter arrogance, their lame humour (or better said, absence thereof) and pretty much everything else.
Speaking about war, I feel really good to say that after a short period of napoleonic invasion we kicked there napoleonic arses out our country, for good. Well until the beaches (Salou, mainly) were infested of their revolting presence. But well, privileges of modern freedom anyhow… I may sound like fascist, here, but I am really not. I just think frenchies are dirty individuals.
This is the opinion I’ve got from them. The synthetic version.

“”Bonjour Monsieur, passport sil vous plais”"
[...]
“(in terrible English now)”
In really terrible French before that :/, “sil vous plais”, just WTF is that?
For the comment above: I’m French and I went in America, Japan, Germany, England etc… and I have nothing against these countries (yes, even America mister frenchhater), but it’s really amusing that I hate Spain xD. It’s kind of like you but in the other way, the difference is that I think not only the people are uninteresting but also the country itself for numerous reasons.
But it’s just my opinion. The synthetic version.
