what retirement really means

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 quiet retirement will seem in comparison. What are you most
looking forward to in these retirement years, Madame?"

"A penis," replied Madame De Gaulle.

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

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

"And where are the investors' yachts?" asked the naive visitor.

Surly they have been repossessed, are now dry docked and are awaiting bids from Enron short sellers.
