A Swiss man, 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? That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any
good."
