Crowded Train The train was quite crowded, and a U.S marine walked the entire length
looking for a seat. But the only seat left was taken by a well-dressed,
middle-aged French woman's poodle.
The war-weary marine asked ''Ma'am, may I please have that seat?'' The
French woman gave a haughty sniff and announced to no-one in particular,
''Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat''.
The marine walked the entire train again, but still the only seat left
was under the dog. ''Please, ma'am may I sit down? I'm very tired''. She
snorted, ''Not only are you Americans rude, you are also very arrogant!''
This time the marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog
and tossed it out the train window, and sat down. The woman shrieked,
''Someone must defend my honour! 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 cars on the wrong side
of the road.
And now sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out of the
window!'' :) |
