Not to be directed at anyone but here goes................
Home truth !!!! 
The train was quite crowded, and a U. S. Marine walked the entire length 
looking for a seat, but the only seat 'available' 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' t say a word; he just picked up the 
dog, tossed it out of the train window, and sat down. 
 
The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honor!   This American 
should be put 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 cars on the wrong side of the road.
 
And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out of the window.
