Marine on a train

The sun's out, lots to try and get done before it rains, again. So here's a funny, stolen from Odie.

On a crowded train, traveling somewhere in 

Europe, a U.S. Marine walked the entire length 

of the train looking for a seat before realizing that 

the only seat available was currently occupied by 

a well-dressed, middle-aged French woman's poodle.
 

The 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, and discovered that the only seat available 

was in fact the onecurrently being occupied by 

the poodle.

Trudging tiredly back, the marine arrived once 

more before the French woman and said, "Please 

Ma'am, may I sit down? I'm very tired?"

She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, 

you are also arrogant. Why should I care if you 

are tired?" This time, the Marine didn't say a word, 

but simply picked up he little dog, tossed it out the 

train window, then sat down. The woman shrieked, 

"Someone, defend my honour! This American

needs to 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 your fork in the 

wrong hand, and you drive your cars on the wrong 

side of the road. And now, Sir, you seem to have thrown

the wrong bitch out the window."
