Goodbye, Charlie
When Charles deGaulle decided to retire from public life, the American Ambassador to France threw a gala dinner party at the Embassy in his honor. At the dinner table, the Ambassador’s wife was chatting with Madame deGaulle.
“Madame,” she began, “Your husband has been such a prominent figure in the world for so long, first as a great General, then as President of the Republic, now as a statesman, what are you most looking forward to in your retirement years?”
A hush fell over the room to hear her response. “Oh, cherie, I look forward to peace, quiet, but most of all……. a penis.”
A shocked silence followed her reply until Le Grand Charles stood and addressed his wife, “Darling, I believe zee Americans pronounce zat word ‘appiness.”
