The scene was in France, at a small movie theater that showed American movies with sub-titles for the locals. The movie was some WW II black & white B-movie....shells were falling, dust was billowing. In a ditch beside a road crouched two GIs, trying to keep their heads from being blown off as they wonder what to do.......they hear strange noises in the distance, and cautiously, one peeks up and peers down the road, straining to see what is happening.

Suddenly, his face lights up, and he turns to his comrade happily and stands up and points down the road and shouts, "Tanks!"

and on the screen the sub-title says.."merci!"

*told to me by the lady who saw it...she says she was the ONLY one in the theater laughing out loud*
