Sorry to all who were forced to read my mindless drivel. So read this instead:
The train was quite crowded, so the 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 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 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 autos on the wrong side of the road.
And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong ***** out the window.
