The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Green Beret 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 Green Beret 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 Green Beret 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 Green Beret 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! This American should be
put 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!
