Subject: U. S. Marine
The Euro-Train was quite crowded, so the U. S. Marine walked its entire length looking for a seat, only to find that the last seat left was taken by a well-dressed middle-aged French woman's poodle.
The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?" The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, "Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat."
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!"
I had to get mean once, when they encircled me with the stuff.
I was trying to get my group to stop or at least help, and they took off on me.
And then these young things with the misters hemmed me in, it was a miracle anyone could see me.
One made the mistake of spritzing me in the face.
Then she made the comment that it smelled nice on me.
Followed by her shocked and surprised shriek.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and I had 'Roman Hands'..
I do so hate it when sales people don't listen to polite requests to stop.
Oh dear.
Hopefully you weren't thrown out of the mall....
Actually, no.
Some of the salesgirls seemed jealous.
Mall security seemed bemused.
ping
LOL!
At least I wasn't cornered in Vic's Secret..
They semed way too fascinated with the hair.
(What is it with women and my hair?!)
Well, if it's nice and clean, women will want to run their fingers through it!
Consider this a GOOD thing! LOL!
the only thing i hate about Victoria's Secret is that the place REEKs of potpourri.
WAY too much potpourri.
I would never subject a man to going in there.
Ping.
I was sent into Vic's Secret because I supposedly "have a good sense of tatse" and likely made a good sacrifical lamb.
*chuckle*
Typo demon attack.. yet again.
"tatse"??
Should be TASTE..
Freudian slip?
:-)
LOL!
Not really.
An honest typo, much like 'teh'.
I'm told that my hair is 'baby fine'..
I call it 'annoying'.
Awwww.....
LOL!
Grrr *wink*
Goofing with my hair also 'does things'.
When the hands start reaching for the hair, I take off running to avoid embarrassment.
LOL!
Had a friend ages back who was so hirsuit.... He'd come visit me when he was on leave because he didn't get along with his family...
this guy had FUR.
I offered to corn-row him.....
He was NOT amused! LOL!
.
Back before I joined the military, and had long hair then, my best friend used to annoy me by practicing her braiding technique.
