The train was quite crowded, so 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 have that seat?'
The French woman just sniffed and said to no 1 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're 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 honor!'
'This American should be put in his place!'
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, 'Sir, you Americans
often seem to have a penchantfor doing the wrong thing.
You hold the fork in the wrong hand.
Youdrive your autos on the wrong side of the road.
And now, sir, you seem tohave thrown the wrong cough out the window!
