Or say your gandfather didn't have to show papers when he visited in his younger days


Many years ago I was dating a young lady with some German ancestry. I was warned that her grandfather was coming for dinner and would always order German wine partly so he could mention he he used to fly over the region during his time with the Luftwaffe.

My mention of how my grandad flew over the same area did not go down well. I may have said he was dropping bombs at the time...

 
My brother was seeing a German girl, and I was already married to my Japanese wife. 

My dad, jokingly to be fair, blurted out or afternoon "for God's sake will I get a daughter in law but from the axis of evil". 

Thankfully both ladies were out of earshot. ?
