В связи с недавними шутками по поводу того, что американцы пишут «неправильно», я вспомнила шутку, которую где-то недавно то ли прочитала, то ли услышала:

Американский солдат возвращается с фронта второй мировой войны. В вагоне тесно, у окна сидит англичанка, а рядом с ней - крошечная собака. Солдат спрашивает: «Мэм, Вы не возражаете, если я сяду на место Вашей собачки, а её возьму на колени?» Дама отвечает ледяным тоном: \"You Americans are so rude!\" Через некоторое время, солдат, переминаясь с ноги на ногу, говорит: «Мэм, я еду с фронта, я устал и не спал несколько ночей, - может быть всё-таки Вы согласитесь подвинуть Вашу собачку?» Дама опять отвечает: \"You Americans are so rude!\" Солдат наконец не выдерживает, берет собачку, вышвыривает её в окно и садится на её место. Дама теряет дар речи, а джентльмен, сидящий напротив, говорит: \"Not only you Americans are rude, use the wrong words and drive the wrong side of the road, -but just now you have thrown the wrong b*tch out of the window\".

Your message was only partially legible Dec 13, 2001

Hello Hafiza,



unfortunately, I could read only a few lines of your posting, the rest looked like a binary code or something like that on my sceen. All I got out of it was that somebody thinks all Americans are of Anglo-Saxon descent, but I have no clue, why they are considered as rude. Would you be so kind and explain, what\'s going on? Thanks!



Greetings,

Rasha

(American of German/Arab Descent)

Rasha, I am sorry if the title of my posting appeared misleading - the message is in the Russian language and Cyrillic font. Recently, in the Russian-English KudoZ section there was a question that invoked some jokes about the American tendency to reduce spelling to a more \"user-friendly\" fashion - which reminded me of a joke that I recently read. An American soldier was returning home from a WWII battle. There were no vacant seats in the wagon, but next to an English lady there was a seat occupied by her tiny dog. The soldier asked the lady if she would agree if he took the dog in his lap and sat down. The lady said indignantly, \"You Americans are so rude!\". Having approached her several times in the most polite way and having let her know that he had not slept for several nights in a row and had been tired, he lost his patience, took the dog, threw it out of the window and sat down. A gentleman sitting across said, \"You Americans are rude, use the wrong words and drive the wrong side of the road - and right now you have thrown the wrong b* out of the window.\"

P.S. Why \'Anglo-Saxon Attitudes\'? there is a famous novel with the same title by Aldous Huxley.

Re: stupid Dec 15, 2001

В связи с вчерашним вопросом о переводе слова «дурак». В Америке есть серия анекдотов, которые начинаются с \"your Mama\'s so stupid/fat/ и т.д.\" - типа детсадовских оскорблений. Например:

Спасибо, Олег. Я знаю ещё один из этой серии Dec 15, 2001

Это мне рассказал «новый русский знакомый»:

Его собрат звонит из своего номера в room service: «Ту ти ту ту». Перевод: «два чая в номер 2».



P.S. а может быть, я что-то напутала и там было смешнее

А второй совсем старый, но мне уж очень нравится.



Сцена в гостиной. Джентельмен читает вечернюю газету. Звонок в дверь, дворецкий идет открывать. Заходит второй джентельмен.



-Добрый вечер, сэр.

- Добрый вечер.

- А погода сегодня не очень.

- Это характерно для текущего времени года.

- Что в газетах?

- Как всегда, одни сплетни.

- А ваша жена дома?

- Да, она наверху. Проходите.



Вторая сцена. Та же гостиная, но на следующее утро. Джентельмен пьет кофе и читает утреннюю газету. Второй джентельмен спускается сверху.



- Доброе утро, сэр.

- Доброе утро.

- Как ваш кофе?

- Спасибо. Отличный как всегда.

- Что пишут в газетах?

- Как всегда одни сплетни.

- А ваша жена нынче была что то уж очень холодна.

- Да она и при жизни не отличалась особой горячностью...
