GMontag's Journal: Invading france on the 6th. Who's with me?

Just heard on the news that france has announced that they will shoot down any airplane flying over the D-Day ceremony next weekend.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to accept their surrender.

Here is the plan:

1. Rent Cessna 172

2. Paint wolf's teeth on engine covers.

3. Fly to france.

4. Radio for any approaching french aircraft to surrender. Don't worry, they understand an order to surrender in every language.

5. Install a real Republic, only humans allowed to rule.

6. Sell the big metal tower for scrap.

7. Profit!

So, who's with me?

If needed we/I can rent a bigger airplane.

Step #4

What would bother them more on step #4, a menacing German accent, or a lazy Texas drawl?

It won't make no never-mind. I'll use my East Tennesseean tawlk on 'em.

Storming the beaches...

My bride and I got married June 6th and honeymooned all over France (on the cheap backpack / one star hotels). This d-day makes ten years for us. Tragically, she would rather invade the Italian coast this time... not that the plunder is not bad there either.

An elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. Standing at the french Customs counter, he fumbled for his passport.

You 'ave been to france before, Monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.

The old gent admitted that he had been to france previously.

"Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection."

The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible. You Americans alwayz 'ave to show your passports on arrival in france!"

The American senior gave the frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, "When I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944, I couldn't find any damn frenchmen to show it to."

Speaking of D-Day

Maybe that's because they were too busy blowing up trains, or, in retaliation, being rounded up and slaughtered by the Nazis [softadventure.net]

I think you'd best go alone

[TheConfusedOne]

Two or more Americans and they'd think they were being picked on.

Ask

[OverlordQ]

MrPilot [mrpilot.org] I'm sure he'd be more then willing to help :P

Plan carefully...

[VivianC]

Be careful. It wouldn't suprise me if the sky was being patrolled by American pilots flying out of England or Germany. When have the French ever shot anything down? I didn't even know they had an air force!

would that involve

[Red Warrior]

actually touching french soil? Ick. How about we go to Germany, and just call them?

Would Probably Work ... However ...

[bettiwettiwoo]

No doubt your plan would work.

Question is though: why would you want to invade to France? What does France have that you would want? And the place is filled with French people I'm told. Smelly cheese, inferior wine and French people and you want to go there ... at all?! Are you sure about this? Or is step #5 implemented from a safe distance?
