An American tourist in London wanders around, seeing the sights and
occasionally stopping at some small pubs 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 gate in a back delivery alley, 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’s what we call the American Embassy.”
