                              Americans

A WWII American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe for three
months, when he was finally given a week of R&R.  He caught a supply
boat to a supply  base in the south of England, then caught a train to
London.

The train was extremely crowded and he could not find a seat.  He was
dead on this feet and walked the length of the train looking for any
place to sit down.  Finally he found a compartment with seats facing
each other; there was room for two people on each seat.  On one side sat
only a proper looking, older British lady, with a small dog sitting in
the empty seat beside her.

"Could I please sit in that seat" he asked.

The lady was insulted; "You Americans are so rude" she said, "can't you
see my dog is sitting there"?

He walked through the train more and still could not find a seat. He
found himself back at the same place.

"Lady, I love dogs - have a couple at home - so I would be glad to hold
your dog if I can sit down" he said.

The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude you are arrogant", she
said.

He leaned against the wall for a time, but was so tired he finally said,
"Lady, I've been on the front lines in Europe for three months with not
a decent rest for all that time; could I please sit there and hold your
dog?"

The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude and arrogant, you are
also obnoxious."

With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog,
threw it out the window, and sat down.  The lady was speechless.

An older, neatly dressed Englishman sitting across on the other seat
spoke up.

"Young man, I do not know if all you Americans fit the lady's
description of you or not. But I do know that you Americans do a lot of
things wrong. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you hold your
fork with the wrong hand, and now you have just thrown the wrong bitch
out of the window."
