English Stiff Upper Lip
Permalink  

On a train from London to Manchester taking people to the Ashes cricket match,

 

  an  Australian was berating the Englishman sitting across the compartment from him.

 

 "You English 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 Italian blood, Greek blood, a little Irish blood and some

 

 Aborigine blood.. What do you say to that ?"

 

 Cooly the Englishman replied,  "Awfully sporting of your mother, old chap!"
