French Joke
e-mail from a marine | 10-05-04 | MNnice

----- Original Message -----

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!"

Its hard to belive that it took 58 posts for a pic of Kerry to show up on a thread titled "French Joke".

Lots of Freepers asleep at the switch ......or just preoccupied with the VP debate?

Irish, Welsh and Scottish, mostly.

Had a German-Jewish great grandmother who changed her name from "Mariam" to "Mary" on the boat.

That's what I was thinking, too.

By comparison, the fellow I offered to corn-row told me that if I tried, he'd spank me.

Interesting as that might sound, I didn't dare try it.

Mais oui, mon ami, je ne me considère vraiment bien pingué, ne c'est pas? Mais franchement, je preferais imaginer-moi le chihuahua dans l'abras de Paris Hilton, plutôt que la biche defenêtrée de ta fable si amusante.
