In a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.
"The trouble with you English is that you are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us. Look at me... I'm me! I have a little Italian in me, a bit of Greek blood, a little Irish and some Spanish blood. What do you say to that?"
The Englishman lowered his newspaper, looked over his glasses and replied, "How very sporting of your mother!"

He was of the opinion that we needed to bring more Syrians in and "stop the wars" in the Middle East. After carefully explaining that those wars have been going on for two centuries, he said that the Russians "backed the right dictator". I asked him if he voted for the current one.....went downhill for him after that....
