There was the fella that came back from a trip to America. "You know they've got it all wrong about the Americans - they say they're brash and loud and vulgar and arrogant and that.

"But it's not at all like that, when you get to know the real Americans - they're the most sensitive and dignified people you could find anywhere.

"That's the real Americans. Mind you there's a lot of these fellas who went over there from Europe in the last few hundred years, and it's a bit of a different story with them."
