a dog will fly

The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Marine walkedthe entirelength looking for a seat, but the only seat left wastaken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle.
The war-weary Marine asked,"Ma'am, may I have that seat?" The French woman justsniffed and saidto no one in particular "Americans are so rude.
My little Fifi is using that seat.
"The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat leftwas under that dog. "Please, ma'am. May I sit down?I'm very tired."She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!
"This time the Marine didn't say a word; he justpicked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, "Someone must defend my honor! this American should be put in his place!
"An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, "Sir, you Americans often seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrongside of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrongbitch out the window.
