English hospitality (9)

An American tourist in London wanders around , seeing the sights and occasionally stopping at some small pub to have a pint of beer. After a while, he finds himself in a very nice neighbourhood with stately residences. No pubs, no restaurants, and worst of all no public restrooms. However, he really has to pee, after all those pints of beer. He finds a narrow side street, with high walls surrounding the adjacent buildings and decides to use the wall to solve his problem.

He is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobby, who says, "Sir, you simply cannot do that here."

"I'm very sorry, officer," replies the American, "but I really have to pee, and I just can't find a public restroom."

"Just follow me" says the Bobby. Then 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, big fountains, sculptured hedges, and huge beds of flowers.
He relieves himself immediately. As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobby "That was really nice of you. Is that what you call English hospitality? "

"No sir...” replied the Bobby, "that is what we call the American Embassy."

Well… that’s explains the ”manicured lawn” and all the flowers – they get enough with fertilizers that way.

Otto be glad we Americans have a good sense of humor.

just goes to prove americans are full of fertilizer

Nice as joke, but not realstic. Americans afraid and their embassies in all countries over the World are with very high walls, policemens/military persons/security video cameras etc. around... Look in some street of embassies - you always easy recognize American.... high grey stone walls and not possible go closer.

But such an opportunity for a pissing contest – one who’s “fountain” makes it over the fence will be a real hero.

Should'nt take the piss out of Americans
