No worries. You're still plenty sharp man.
You obviously have a good memory and knowledge of history, and that has more real value than a silly joke anyway.
I know I learned something. I never knew the Italians were such unwilling participants and pushovers in WWII.
I'm not even sure which war gave the French army their poor reputation as a fighting force, just that I've seen a lot of joking references alluding to that.
Happy Independence day to you too!
