Marine on a Train

 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 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 honour! 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 seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window."
