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 Français?” he tries. The two continue to stare. “Parlare Italiano?” No
response. “¿Hablan ustedes español?” 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.”
