How Americans Are Perceived, Part Deux

Encounter on a Train

Sitting together on a train, traveling through the Canadian Rockies were an American guy, a Canadian guy, a little old Greek lady, and a young blonde girl with large breasts.

The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap. When the train emerges from the tunnel, the American has a bright red hand print on his cheek. No one speaks.

The old Greek lady thinks:
The American guy must have groped the blonde in the dark and she slapped his cheek.


The blonde girl thinks:
That American guy must have tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled the old lady and she slapped his cheek.

The American thinks:
The Canadian guy must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead.

The Canadian thinks:
I can't wait for another tunnel, just so I can smack the American again.
