An American tourist in France found himself needing to take a
leak something terrible. After a long search he just couldn't
find anyplace to relieve himself. So he just went down one of the side streets to take care of business.
Before he could even get unzipped a French police office asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"I gotta piss, man."
"You can't piss here. Look, follow me."
The police officer led him to a beautiful garden with lots of
grass, pretty flowers, and manicured hedges.
"Here," said the cop, whiz away."
The American shrugs, turns, unzips, and starts right on the
flowers.
"Ahhh. Whew. Thanks. This is very nice of you. Is this French
courtesy?"
"No. This is the American Embassy."
