Hello Peter,
For a Friday chuckle I got this one today. Very continental!
As two Frenchmen were waiting for the bus to come by, an Englishman comes around and asks in English; “At what time is the bus due, my good Sirs?”
The two Frenchmen look at each other and shrug their shoulders in obvious non comprehension of what this foreigner is talking about.
So the Englishman switches to German and stumbles to the same result. He tries his best Spanish then toggles to Italian and finally after astonishing only himself in Danish gives up all hope to being understood by these two Frenchmen and walks away.
One of the French guys then says to his friend; “We should make some effort to speak a foreign language some day.”
“To what avail” replies his friend, “This guy seems to rattle quite a few, and it ain’t don’t help him.”
