The train was packed, and the U. S. Marine Walked the entire length looking for a seat, but a well-dressed, Middle-aged, French woman’s poodle took the Only seat remaining.

The war-weary Marine asked, “Ma’am, may I have that seat?”The French woman just sniffed and said to 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 left was 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!”

The next time the Marine didn’t say a word; he just picked up the little Dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.

The woman shrieked, “Someone must defend my honor! Put this American In his place !”

Autumn 2009 launch date for Digital Television switchover
