RE: Holden, back to school!

appropriate: apparently, it evokes the same image in the US and here, on

Your sincere lurker,
Valérie Aron

The only seat available on the train was directly adjacent to a
well dressed middle aged French woman and the seat was being
used by her dog. The weary traveler asked, "Ma'am, please
move your dog. I need that seat."
The French woman looked down her nose at the American,
sniffed and said, "You Americans. Your are such a rude class
of people. Can't you see my little FiFi is using that seat?"

The American walked away, determined to find a place to
rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train,
found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again
he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there?". I'm very tired."
