Re: (lang: en) Monks qui parlent des langages autres que les anglais

I shamelessly borrow this joke from grinder nodelet because it is so appropriate here:

A Swiss is 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 Français?" he tries. The two continue to stare blankly. "Parlare Italiano?" No response. "Hablan ustedes Español?" Still nothing. The Swiss guy gives up an drives off. The first Aussie 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!"
