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!"

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
