A shaggy dog story. The train was crowded, and the US 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 this 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 length of the train again, but the only seat left was under that dog.
"Please Ma'am may I sit down I am very tired...." She snorted " Not only are you Americans so rude, you are also arrogant!".
This time the marine didn't say a word, he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out of 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 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!"
