An American and an Englishman are sharing the same compartment on a train trip to London from Paris. During their conversation, the American criticizes the arrogance of the English people. He says to the Englishmen, “You people have such stiff upper lips that you think your people are the superior race in the world. You tend to look down on people not the same as you are. As for me, I’m proud to say that I’m a quarter Irishman, two fifths French, one sixth American indian a fifth Jamaican Black and a little German.”
Without batting an eyelash, the Englishman just nods and comments, “How sporting of your mother.”
