While on vacation in Europe, an American boards a train to Paris and finds that the only available seat is occupied by a small dog owned by a well dressed middle aged French woman.

The weary traveler asks, "Ma'am, can ya move your dog. I sure would like to sit down."

The French woman looked down her nose at the American, sniffs and says, "You Americans! You are such a rude people. Can't you see my little FiFi is using that seat?"

The American walks away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, finds himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asks,

"Please lady, can I sit there?  Can't ya see I'm plum tuckered out?"

The French woman wrinkles her nose and snorts, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant!"

Without another word, the American leans over, picks up the dog and tosses it out the window of the train and sits down in the now empty seat.

The woman shrieks in anger and demands that someone defend her honor and chastise the American. A British man sitting across the aisle speaks up indignantly,

"I say Sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for always
doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand,you drive your autos on the wrong side of the road and now you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window."
