A WW II American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe for three months,
when he was finally given a week of R&R. He caught a supply boat to a supply base in
the south of Egland, then caught a train to London. The train was extremely crowded and he
could not find a seat. He was dead on his feet and walked the length of the train looking
for any place to sit down.
Finally he found a compartment with seats facing each other; there was room for two people
on each seat. On one side sat only a proper looking, older British lady, with a small dog
sitting in the empty seat beside her. Could I please sit in that seat he
asked.
The lady was insulted; You Americans are so rude she said,
cant you see my dog is sitting there?
He walked through the train more and still could not find a seat. He found himself back at
the same place. Lady, I love dogs - have a couple at home - so I would be glad to
hold your dog if I can sit down he said.
The lady replied you Americans are not only rude, you are arrogant she
said.
He leaned against the wall for some time, but was so tired he finally said
Lady, Ive been on the front lines in Europe for three months with not a decent
rest for all that time; could I please sit there and hold your dog?
The lady replied You Americans are not only rude and arrogant, you are also
obnoxious.
With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog, threw it out
the window, and sat down.
The lady was speechless.
An older, neatly dressed Englishman sitting across on the other seat spoke up.
Young man, I do not know if all you Americans fit the ladys description
of you or not.
But I do know that you Americans do a lot of things wrong. You drive on the wrong
side of the road, you hold your fork with the wrong hand. And now you have just thrown the
wrong bitch out the window.
