Good job, all, and ooo ooo ooo! Maybe now I can tell the one Olympic joke I picked up out here in the wilderness.
A Swiss man visiting Sydney, Australia pulls up at a bus stop where two locals are waiting. "Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two Aussies just stare at him. "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries. The two continue to stare blankly. "Parlare Italiano?" No response. "Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing. The Swiss guy gives up and drives off.
The first Aussie turns to the second and says, "Y'know, mate, maybe we should learn a foreign language." "What for?" says the other. "That fellow knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good, did it?"
And of course it's even truer of the US of A, so save it and tell it back to me when our turn comes around.
Blessings,
