Americans do everything wrong

The train was quite crowded and a U. S. Marine walked the entire length
looking for a seat.

There seemed to be one next to a well-dressed French woman, but when he
got there, he saw it was taken by the woman's poodle. The war-weary
Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?"
The French woman 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 available
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 defend me! Put this American 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 bleep out the window.
"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me . . . Anything can happen, child. Anything can be"
