> The British are so proper...An American tourist in London decides to

> local culture, chat with the locals, and have a pint of bitter.
>
> After a while, he finds himself in a very nice neighborhood with big,
> stately residences... no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of
> all NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS.
>
> He really, really has to go, after all those Guinness's. He finds a
> narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings
> and decides to use the wall to solve his problem.
>
> As he is unzippin g, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London bobby, who
> says, "I say, sir, you simply cannot do that here, you know."
>
> "I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really, really
> have to go, and I just can't find a public restroom."
>
> "Ah, yes," said the bobby..."Just follow me". He leads the American to a
> back delivery alley to a gate, which he opens. "In there," points the
> bobby. "Whiz away sir, anywhere you like."
>
> The fellow enters and finds himself in the most beautiful garden he has
> ever seen. Manicured grass lawns, statuary, fountains, sculptured
> hedges, and huge beds of gorgeous flowers, all in perfect bloom. Since
> he has the policeman's blessing, he relieves himself and feels much more
> comfortable.
>
> As he goes back through th e gate, he says to the bobby "That was really
> decent of you.! .. is th at what you call English hospitality?"
>
> "No sir...", replied the bobby, "...that is what we call the French
> Embassy."
