AMERICANS ARE FUNNY PEOPLE......


Passengers of many nationalities were travelling on the Orient Express from Calais across Europe. There was a highly fashionable lady with her lap dog that was creating a big nuisance with its pesky barks and howls. The lady also contributed her share by talking sweet nothings to the dog in words that should normally have been for her lover or husband if she had one, and strictly restricted to the bed room.

An American who was sitting close by was irked. He was trying to sleep. He warned the lady,

"If that stupid dog of yours lets out another yip, I am going to throw it out of the window. Control it and don't talk inanities to it and provoke it."

The lady looked haughtily at him with a "Hmph".

After sometime the dog provoked by something let out a big howl that would have been the envy of the hound of Baskervilles. The American woke up in a rage. Snatching up the dog he threw it out of the window.

The lady was livid with anger and started hurling obscenities at the American. She went to report the matter to the conductor. The American joined her to represent his point of view.

A philosophical Frenchman who had watched the whole episode opined, " These Americans are all funny people. They do everything in reverse. They shake your left hand when you are introduced. They drive on the wrong side of the road. They hold the spoon and the fork in the wrong hands. And now THIS AMERICAN HAS THROWN THE WRONG BIT** out of the window.


Note: I have narrated this joke to all my American friends and my American sons-in-law and they roared with laughter and asked me to narrate more jokes of this kind.
