An American In Paris

"What’s Cooking"*

*The blond man was crying at the bar, and the
bartender gave him a free drink.

“What’s the trouble?” asked the friendly bartender.

“I got kicked out of chef school,” said the blond.
“They said I gave them the oldest excuse in the
book, and all I did was tell the truth.”

“What did you say?”

”I told them the dog ate my homework.”

"An American In Paris"*

*This is a true story. My sister and I spent two weeks
in Paris. The locals obviously hated Americans. No
matter where we went, we were subject to rude
behavior from waiters, store clerks, pedestrians, etc.
After a while it started to irritate us.

One day, in Paris, my sister went shopping. She entered
a store and started looking around. She was the only
customer in the store. As she was look through the
clothes on the rack, a clerk hurriedly approached her
and very abruptly asked if he could help her.

My sister was used to this bad treatment by now and
she politely declined his help. She continued to look
at the clothes. Then she noticed that every clerk in
the store was staring at her.

Defiantly, she continued to look through the clothes.
When she could take this treatment no longer, she
turned on her heels, with her head held high, and left the shop.

As she left, she noticed that the sign on the store read "Dry Cleaners."
