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.”
