A German, looking for directions in Paris, pulls up to a bus stop where two Americans are waiting.

"Entschuldigung, sprechen Sie Deutsch?" he asks.  The two Americans just stare at him.  "Parlez-vous français?" he says.

The two continue to stare, so the German tries again: "Parlate italiano?" No response.  "¿Hablan ustedes español?"  Still nothing.  Frustrated, the German guy drives off.

The first American says, "You know, we should learn a foreign language."

"Why?" asks the other.

"He knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."
