When Charles deGaulle decided to retire from public life, the American
ambassador and his wife threw a gala dinner party in his honor.
At the dinner table the Ambassador's wife was talking with Madame deGaulle,
"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?",
she asked. "A penis," replied Madame deGaulle. A huge hush fell over the table.
Everyone heard her answer...and no one knew what to say next. Finally, Le Grand
Charles leaned over to his wife and said, "Ma cherie, I believe zee Americans
pronounce zat word, 'appiness."
