There comes a time when humour is needed.
So for my French, North American and other friends... a joke.
The train was quite crowded, so 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 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 length of the train again, but the only seat left was under that dog.
'Please Ma'am, may I sit down? I'm very tired'.
'Not only are you Americans rude, but you are also arrogant'!
This time the Marine didn't say a word, he just picked up the little dog, threw 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 often see to have a penchant for doing the wrong things. You hold your 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'!
