****OT***** Joke for Truff
<<Anyone who would like to tell me a joke or funny story would be most welcome at this point>>
Remember me? Don't tell me your still at work, plan on going home tonight? Just think how bad things really would be if it wasn't for the net. Anyway's here's a joke for ya, hope it brightens things up for ya:
A WW II American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe for three
months, when he was finally given a week of R&R. He caught a supply
boat to a supply base in the south of England, then caught a train to
London. The train was extremely crowded and he could not find a seat.
He was dead on his feet and walked the length of the train looking for
any place to sit down.
Finally he found a compartment with seats facing each other; there was
room for two people on each seat. On one side sat only a proper
looking, older British lady, with a small dog sitting in the empty seat
beside
her.
> "Could I please sit in that seat" he asked. The lady was insulted;
"you Americans are so rude" she said, "can't you see my dog is sitting
there"?
He walked through the train more and still could not find a seat. He
found himself back at the same place. "Lady, I love dogs - have a couple
at home - so I would be glad to hold your dog if I can sit down" he
said. The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude you are arrogant"
she
said.
He leaned against the wall for a time, but was so tired he finally
said "lady, I've been on the front lines in Europe for three months with
not a
decent rest for all that time; could I please sit there and hold your dog?"
The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude and arrogant, you are also
obnoxious."
With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog,
threw it out the window, and sat down. The lady was speechless. An
older, neatly dressed Englishman sitting across on the other seat spoke up.
"Young man, I do not know if all you Americans fit the lady's
description of you or not. But I do know that you Americans do a lot of
things
wrong. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you hold your fork
with the wrong hand, and now you have just thrown the wrong bitch out of
the window."
