English as a second language.

Let's see..........., who did we piss off this week?

No, wait a minute, that list is too long, ........... who didn't we piss off this week? (That make for a much shorter list!)


Ah yes, the French!

A Canadian Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the Canadian, U.S. , English, Australian and French Navies.

At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that Europeans learn many languages, but North Americans generally learn only English.'

He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English at these conferences rather than speaking French?' (A typical French statement!)

Without hesitating, the Canadian Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

You could have heard a pin drop.
