A Tired American Solider

An American solider serving in WWII had just returned from intense action on the German front lines. He had finally been granted the R&R and was on a train bound London. The train was very crowded, so the solider walked the length of the train looking for an empty seat.

The only unoccupied seat was adjacent to a well-dressed middle age woman and was being used by her little dog.

The solider asked, "Please, ma'am, May I sit in that seat?"

The English woman looked at him, sniffed and said, "You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little Fifi is using that seat?"

The solider walked away, determined to find a place to rest. After another trip down the train, he found himself again facing the woman with the dog.

Again he asked, "Please, Lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired."

The English woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You Americans. Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant. Imagine!"

The solider didn't say anything else; he leaned over, picked up the dog and tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty space.

The woman shrieked, demanded that someone defend her and chastise the solider.

Suddenly, an English Gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up, "You know, Sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road."

"And now, Sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window!"
