Years ago, there was a famous deli in New York. The owner had a big heart and frequently hired refugees from other countries. One day, a new patron came in and was waited on by a young man from Thailand, who conversed in perfect Yiddish. The customer was so impressed, that he asked to speak to the owner.

“I'm very impressed with your waiter. Where did he learn Yiddish?” – he asked the owner.
“Shhh,” – the owner replied. “He thinks I'm teaching him English!”
