" European Trains "

 

The train was crowded and the U.S. Sailor 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 tired Sailor 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 Sailor 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 Sailor 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! Put this American 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 cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you’ve thrown the wrong bitch out the window.”
