The train was quite crowded, a U.S.Marine walked the entire length looking
for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a poodle belonging to a
well
dressed, middle-aged, French woman.
The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?"
The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, "Americans
are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat."
The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under
that dog. "Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired."
She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!"
This time the Marine didn't say a word. He just picked up the little dog,
tossed it out the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, "I'm horrified. Someone must defend my honour and put
this American in his place!"
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, "Sir, you Americans seem to
have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the
wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now,
sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window."
