British Humour
The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Marine walked the entire length
looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken 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 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!'
This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog,
threw it out of the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honour! 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 cars on the wrong side of the road. And
now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out of the window'.

My racing snail isn't winning races anymore. I decided to take his shell off to reduce his weight and make him more aerodynamic. It didn't work. If anything it's made him more sluggish.....

Digger,

Are you sure that you are not really my brother in disguise? That's exactly the sort of joke he tells.

Its good dry British humour, way better than anything this side of the pond has to offer. Digger I think no one can help you with that one, you better come back later.
