A Swiss guy, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting.

"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he says.

The two Americans just stare at him.

"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?"

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."

Ha Ha!! Years ago I had a good friend at work that was struggling to communicate with a Spanish speaking patient. She announced to the rest of us that this world should have only ONE language. After a few moments she added... and it should be English. LOL!

Well, those two American tourists were RIGHT!

Because if any of you had been old enough to have seen the film BEN HUR you would have known that THE LANGUAGE OF JESUS WAS ENGLISH.

Usually an American will just speak louder until the foriegner can understand! Sometimes very loud!
