The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Marine walked 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 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, "Someone must defend my honour!
This American should be put in his place!"
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, "Sir, you
Americans often 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."
