  • An American tourist…..

    Posted by Kev Mayger on October 26, 2005 at 9:12 am

    AN AMERICAN tourist in London decides to skip his tour group and explore the city on his own.
    He wanders around, seeing the sights, and occasionally stopping at a quaint pub to soak up the local culture, chat with the lads, and have a pint of Guinness.
    After a while, he finds himself in a very high-class area. big, stately residences… no pubs, no shops, no restaurants, and worst of all… NO PUBLIC TOILETS. He really, really has to go, after all those pints of Guinness.
    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 unzipping, he is tapped on the shoulder by a London Bobbie, 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 toilet.”
    “Ah, yes,” says the Bobbie, “just follow me.”
    He leads him to a back “delivery alley”, then along a wall to a gate, which he opens. “In there,” points the Bobbie. “Whiz away Sir, anywhere you want.” 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 cop’s blessing, he unburdens himself and is greatly relieved.
    As he goes back through the gate, he says to the Bobbie “That was really decent of you… is that what you call British Hospitality?”

    “No sir”, replies the Bobbie, “that’s what we call the French Embassy”.

    Gotta amend that one….we would never say “toilet” as it sounds rude! hahahaha….change it to “bathroom” or “restroom” and you’ll be just fine.
    If it was a Canadian tourist he would say “washroom”.
    Love……Jill
