The train was very crowded, so this American soldier was forced to walk the length of the train, looking for an empty seat.
The only unoccupied seat, was directly adjacent to a well-dressed middle-aged lady, who had her dog snuggled in the empty seat.
The war weary soldier asked, "Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat? "The English woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said,"You Americans. Your such a rude class of people. Can't you see my Little Fifi is using that seat?"
The soldier walked away, determined to find a place to rest. After another trip up and down the train, the soldier finds himself again facing the same woman and her dog.
Again he asks, "Please, lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired."
The English woman wrinkles her nose and snorts, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also very arrogant."
The soldier doesn't say anything else. He leans over, picks up the little dog and tosses it out the window of the train and sits down in the empty seat.
The woman shrieks very loudly and demands that someone defend her and chastise the soldier for his actions.
An English gentleman sitting across the aisle speaks 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 automobiles on the wrong side of the road.
And now sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window."
