Two Americans are vacationing in Europe when a gentleman of Swiss heritag=
e=20
pulls up to them in his fancy Swiss car, rolls down the window, apparantl=
y=20
for directions...
"Parlez-Vous Fran=C3=A7ais?" he asks. The Americans look at each other =
and back=20
at the gentleman and shrug.
"Sprechen ze Deutch?" he asks again... The Americans repeat the drill.
"Habla espanol?" he asks this time. Again, the Americans shrug and look=

dumbfounded.
"Parla Italiano?" he asks a final time, becoming frustrated by this time=
=2E =20
Again the American simply shrug and look at him. At this point, he drive=
s=20
off in a huff, to find someone he can communicate with.
One American turns to the other and says "You ever think we should try to=
pick=20
up another language?"
"Why? Look at that guy... he probably speaks like 90 languages and look=
what=20
good it did him!"
