Americans doing it wrong

The train was crowded. A US marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but
the only seat left was taken by a poodle belonging to a well-dressed middle-aged
French woman. The war-weary marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?" The
French woman sniffed and said to no one in particular "Americans are so rude. My
little Fifi is using that seat."

The marine walked the train again, but the only seat left was under that dog. "Please
ma'am, may I sit down? I'm very tired." The French woman snorted. "Not only are
you Americans rude, you are also arrogant." This time the marine didn't say a word.
He just picked up the little dog and tossed it out of the window. Then he sat down.
The woman shrieked. "I'm horrified. Someone must defend my honour and put this
American in his place."

An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up. "Sir, you Americans seem to have a
penchant for doing the wrong thing. You use your fork in the wrong hand. You drive
your cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the
wrong bitch out of the window!"
