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
neighborhood.....big,
stately residences...no pubs, no stores, no restaurants, and worst of
all... NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. He really, really has to go, after all
those
Guinness's. 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 restroom."
"Ah, yes," said 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,...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 thru the gate, he says to the Bobbie "That was really
decent
of you ...is that "British Hospitality?"
"No" replied the Bobbie, with a satisfied smile on his face, "that is
the
French Embassy."
