Joke I heard while in Hungary Two cops are standing by the street side in New York City. A foreigner approaches them looking slightly panicked. ""Parlez vous Francais?"" He asks them. The cops, not knowing a word of French merely shrug their shoulders at the man. Frustrated, he asks them, ""Ustedes hablan espanol?"" Again, the cops merely shrug. The foreigner continues with the same result with Dutch, Russian, and German. Eventually, he leaves, knowing that there's no hope for him to communicate with the officers. ""I keep telling you we should learn more languages!"" says one cop to the other. ""Why?"" he responds. ""That man knows five, and it didn't get him anywhere."" EDIT: Spleling and grammar. (I did get it correct that time, right?)
