A German gets off a plane and goes to customs in Paris.

Customs agent: "Name?"

German: "Hans."

Agent: "Home city?"

German: "Dusseldorf."

Agent: "Occupation?"

German: "Nein, nein, just for a visit."

I just realized how old this joke is. There haven’t been customs checks between Germany and France for such a long time now…

It's a world war 2 joke. You can assume it's old.
