Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 2:54 pm Post subject: JOKE: In need of a seat |
|
|
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 elderly woman, and was being used by her little dog.
The war-weary soldier asked, "Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat?"
The old woman,with an air of superiority, 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 Fife is using that seat?" The soldier walked away, disheartened, but still determined to find a place to rest. However, after another trip down to the end of the train, he again found himself facing the elderly woman with the dog. Again he asked, "Please, lady, may I sit there? I'm very tired." Instead, the rude old woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, but you are also ignorant. Imagine!" Without hesitation, or saying a word, the soldier 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 wailed, and demanded that someone defend her and chastise the soldier. An English gentleman, who had been observing the situation from across the aisle, interjected,"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, drive your autos on the wrong side of the road, and now, sir,........you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window."

Excellent point. I believe that it's something of "proper" etiquette, not necessarily what is most accepted....  |

A good magician never reveals his secrets.
....And Drofgod, that would be the reason why we have things like WD-40.

Speaking of WD-40, that reminds me of something I once heard: you only need two things in life - WD-40 and superglue. If it's meant to move and it doesn't, WD-40; if it's not meant to move and it does, superglue. _________________ Wow, sarcasm! That's original. |

You spray WD-40 on something that should move but does'nt, like a door hinge that creaks and slows the door from opening and closing. You apply superglue to something that should remain stationary but keeps moving, like the limbs of a model that won't stay in the position you place it in. Does that help? _________________ Silentium est aurum |

That picture Cole posted is where I first saw it.
Personally, I don't think it really matters which way round you say it. It's personal preference, really. _________________ Wow, sarcasm! That's original. |
