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 a 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 knew what to say next.


Le Grand Charles leaned over to his wife and said, "Ma cherie, I believe ze English pronounce zat word, "appiness!'"
