Charles de Gaulle in Honor

When Charles de Gaulle retired 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 who did not speak French was talking with Madame de Gaulle:

"Your husband has been such a prominent public figure, on the French and international scene for so many years! What are you both looking forward to in your retirement years?"

"A penis," replied Madame de Gaulle.

A huge hush fell over the table as heard her answer......

Le Grand Charles leaned over to his wife and said:

"Ma cherie, I believe ze English pronounce zat word, "appiness!'"
