CROSSED WIRES
Two policemen walked their beat in the East-European capital. One of them suggested:
“Don’t you think it would be wise if we learned a foreign language?”
Hardly had he finished speaking, when a big American car stopped near them. A man leaned out of the window and asked:
“Do you speak English?”
Both policemen shook their heads in negation.
The man tried again:
“Sprechen Sie Deutsch?”
“Parlate Italiano?’
“Parlez vous Francais?”
“¿Habla Espanol?”
To each of the questions, the policemen just looked at him uncomprehendingly. At last the foreigner muttered under his breath: 'Damn!' and drove off.
“You see, that man spoke at least five languages and where did it get him?” – asked the second policeman.
