Shipwreck Blog: On Titanic, British Men Too Polite To Survive

Unlike those pushy American men.

Scene: Deck of the Titanic:

Crewman: Women and children first, please!

Englishman: Are the women and children safe? I take it we men may enter the lifeboats now?

Crewman: That's right.

Englishman tries to enter lifeboat, is pushed aside by American.

Englishman: I say, fellow. Queue with the rest.

American: I am. I was here before you.

Englishman: Were you indeed? My apologies. Carry on, then.

American: Sucker!


I'm not persuaded by the study, obviously.
