An American tourist in London was desperate to take a leak.
After a long search he couldn't find any public bathroom to relieve
himself. So he went down one of the side streets to take care of
business. Just as he was unzipping, a London police officer showed
up.
"Look here, old chap, what are you doing?" the officer asked.
"I'm sorry," the American replied, "but I really gotta take a
leak."
"You can't do that here," the officer told him. "Look, follow
me."
The police officer led him to a beautiful garden with lots of
grass, pretty flowers, and manicured hedges. "Here," said the
policeman, "whiz away."
The American tourist shrugged, turned, unzipped, and started
pissing on the flowers. "Ahhh," he said in relief. Then turning
toward the officer, he said, "This is very nice of you. Is this
British courtesy?"
"No," replied the policeman. "It's the French Embassy."
