A Swiss guy, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus
stop, where two Americans are waiting. “Entschuldigung,
koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he asks. The two Americans
just stare at him. “Excusez moi, parlez vous Francais?”
he tries. The two continue to stare. “Parlare Italiano?” No
response. “Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing.
The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first
American turns to the second and says, “Y’know, maybe we should
learn a foreign language.” “Why?” says the other. “That guy
knew four languages, and it didn’t do him any good.”
