bodypilot90 0 #1 April 1, 2003 The only seat available on the train was directly adjacent to a well dressed middle aged French woman and the seat was being used by her dog. The weary traveler asked, "Ma'am, please move your dog. I need that seat". The French woman looked down her nose at the American, sniffed and said, "You Americans. You're are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little FiFi is using that seat?" The American 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 tired." The French woman wrinkled her nose and snorted "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant....Imagine!" The American didn't say anything else, he leaned over, picked up the 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 honor and chastise the American. An English man sitting across the aisle spoke up indignantly "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 autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, Sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #2 April 1, 2003 Do you do anything else but bag on the French? Seems like you're a little obsessed with them. I think almost 90% of you posts are some sort of French joke. No to mention this joke you posted has been posted about 10 times already. Dude seriously.... Get off of yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crapflinger2000 1 #3 April 1, 2003 Wow, I never heard about this! What train? Was this in the news? Are you thinking about that guy who chucked that dog into traffic on 880 in the bay area a few years back? That guy got caught, so I think everything is OK there... I don't remember any Brit being involved though... Can you post a link? __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

crapflinger2000 1 #9 April 1, 2003 wow... I didn't think French folks (Freedom folks) actually talked like that! I thought that was only in the movies. Hope the doggy is OK. Fuckin jerk for throwing a dog out the window. Hope he gets caught. Sadly, I have now rolled into the "Enthusiast" category... sigh..... __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

Sebazz1 2 #11 April 1, 2003 Did you know the most common profession in France is bus mechanics?? And subsequently in another study bus mechanics have been proven to have the highest probablility of chucking little doggies out of car windows in fits of road rage. Veeeeerrrrryyyy interesting if you ask me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
