An American tourist in London was desperately in need of a public restroom. After searching at length he was unable to find a WC, aka Public Convenience, so he walked into a quiet side street to relieve himself near a blank wall. Just as he was unzipping, a London bobby appeared at his
side.
"Look 'ere, old chap, what d'you think you're doin'?" the policeman asked.
"I'm sorry, Officer," replied the American, "but I really gotta take a leak!"
"Very well, sir, but you can't do that 'ere," the bobby sternly advised. "Follow me, if you please."
The tourist was promptly led to a beautiful garden nearby with a wide lawn, pretty flowers, and manicured hedges. "There you are, myte" said the bobby, "carry on."
The grateful American shrugged, turned, unzipped, and christened the flowers for a full minute. "Aahhh," he declared in relief. Turning toward the bobby, he said, "This is very nice of you, Officer. Is this ! British courtesy?"
"Not at all, myte," the smiling Cockney replied. "It's the French Embassy."
