A U.S. Marine on leave was traveling across Europe by train. The train was quite crowded so the Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat. The only seat left was taken by a poodle next to a well-dressed middle-aged French woman.
The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?"
The French woman just sniffed and said to another snooty looking woman
sitting next to her, "Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat, and she was here first."
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, you are also 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.
The woman shrieked, "Someone must defend my honor! Put this American in his place!"
An English gentleman sitting nearby 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 autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir,...you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window. "
