Marines Train Ride

The train was quite crowded, so the U.S. Marine walked the train's
length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well
dressed French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may
I have that seat?" The French woman sniffed and said to no one in
particular, "You 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, but you are also terribly
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. "My
little Fifi!" The woman shrieked, "Someone must defend my honor! Put
this American in his place!" An English gentleman sitting nearby then
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
automobiles on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you've thrown
the wrong bitch out the window."
