A train on its way to Heathrow. It's very crowded and a very tired American dragging a very heavy case is despairing of find a seat.. He sees what looks like an empty one, but getting closer sees it is occupied by a poodle. In the next seat is her owner, obviously, by the elevated position of her nose, absolutely certain she should be in 1st class.
The American very politely asked, "Please ma'am, may I sit in that seat?"
The woman looked down her nose at the man, sniffed and said, "You Americans..You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little Fifi is using that seat?"
Not wanting to make a fuss, he 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 very tired."
She again wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant."
This was too much, he HAD to sit down: 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 American.
An Englishman 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."
