Hoo, boy! ClintonHammond gives great demonstration!

One reason to ride the Ottawa city bus is the language melange--Chinese, Somali, Polish, Vietnamese, Russian, several kinds of French (you get good at telling them apart) and, occasionally, English. I often wonder what secrets are being exchanged by new Canadians who are quite sure that the blond, blue-eyed lady with the big brown purse doesn't understand a word they say. Most of them are right, of course, but not the German-speaking ones! You'd think they'd know better; this town is full of old soldiers, many of whom served four-year NATO tours in Germany, and took their wives and kids with them.
