Madame De Gaulle's wish on her husband's retirement

Although the wish may be father to the thought, Walt has been so engrossed in watching Hellery Clinton implode that he has been unable to think of much else this week. Since it may take awhile for the demise of her campaign for the presidensity to eventuate, Ed. insists that something be found to fill this space. To the rescue comes Agent 6, who submits this little story about un mot du Général de Gaulle on the occasion of his retirement.

When Charles De Gaulle decided to retire from public life the British ambassador and his wife threw a gala dinner party in his honour. 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.

A huge hush fell over the table. Everyone heard her answer... and no one new what to say next.

Le Grand Charles broke the silence a moment later as he leaned over to his wife and said:

"Chérie, I believe zat ze English pronounce zat word " `appiness " !
