Military jokes
An American soldier, serving in World War II, had just returned from
several weeks of intense action on the German front lines. He had finally
been granted R&R and was on a train bound for London. The train was very
crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an
empty seat. The only unoccupied seat was directly adjacent to a well-
dressed middle-aged lady and was being used by her little dog. The war
weary soldier asked, "Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat?" The English
woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said, "You
Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little
Fifi is using that seat?" The soldier walked away, determined to find a
place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found
himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked, "Please,
lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired." The English woman wrinkled her
nose and snorted, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also
arrogant. Imagine!" The soldier didn't say anything else; he leaned over,
picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat
down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that
someone defend her and chastise the soldier. An English gentleman sitting
across the aisle spoke up, "You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a
penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong
hand. You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir,
you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window.
