When Charles de Gaulle decided to retire from public life, the British
ambassador and his wife threw a gala dinner party in his honor.
At the dinner table, the Ambassador’s wife was talking with Madame de Gaulle:
“Your husband has been such a prominent public figure, such a presence on
the French and international scene for so many years! How quiet retirement
will seem in comparison. What are you most looking forward to in these
retirement years?”
“A penis,” replied Madame de Gaulle.
Silence fell over the table. Everyone heard her answer… and no one knew
what to say next.
Charles leaned over to his wife and said:
“Ma cherie, I believe ze English pronounce zat word, ‘…appiness’!”
H-ul era mut 😛
