Just had to share this email:

British Humour

The train was quite crowded, so an American Soldier walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well-dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle.

The war-weary Soldier asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?"
The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, "You Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat."

The Soldier 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 Soldier 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 honour!
Put this Soldier in his place!"

An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, "Sir, you Americans 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 seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window."
