An American tourist in London wanders around , seeing the sights and
occasionally stopping at some small pub 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.
Immediately, 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 back
delivery alley to a gate, 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.
After releiving himself, he goes back through the gate. He thanks the
Bobby, "That was really nice of you. Is that what you call English
hospitality? "
"No sir...” replied the Bobby, "that is what we call the American
Embassy!"
