An American In Paris

Anon writes:
This is a true story. My sister and I spent two weeks in Paris. The locals obviously hated Americans. No matter where we went, we were subjected to rude behavior from waiters, store clerks, pedestrians, etc. After a while it started to irritate us…

One day, in Paris, my sister went shopping. She entered a store and started looking around. She was the only customer in the store. As she was looking through the clothes on the rack, a clerk hurriedly approached her and very abruptly asked if he could help her.

My sister was used to this bad treatment by now and she politely declined his help. She continued to look at the clothes. Then she noticed that everyone in the store was staring at her…

Defiantly, she continued to look through the clothes. When she could take this treatment no longer, she turned on her heels, with her head held high, and left the shop.

As she left, she noticed that the sign on the store read “Dry Cleaners.”
