I was sent the following and thought you would enjoy it. On Speaking English

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a Naval conference that included admirals
from the US, British, Canadian, Australian and French Navies.
At a cocktail reception! , he found himself standing with a group of half
dozen or so officers that included personnel from most of the countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a
French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many
languages, Americans learn only English.
He then asked: "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these
conferences, rather than speaking French?"
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied: "Maybe it's because the
Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you  wouldn't have to
speak German."
It got so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.  

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
