The only seat available on the train was adjacent to a well dressed, middle aged French woman, and the seat was being used by her dog.

The weary traveler asked "Ma'am, please move your dog. I need that seat."

The French woman looked down her nose at the American, sniffed and said

"You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see tha my Fifi is using this seat?"

The American walked away, determined to find a place to rest. But afgter another trip down to the end of the train found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked "Please, Lady. I am so very tired. May I please sit there?"

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

The American didn't say anything else.He leaned over, picked up the dog, tossed it out the window of the train, and sat down in the empty seat.

The woman shrieked and wailed, demanding that someone defend her honor and chastise the American.

An Englishman sitting across the aisle spoke up indignantly.

"You know, Sir, you Americans DO have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand, you drive autos on the wrong side of the road, and now, Sir, you have thrown the wrong bytch out the window!"
