43. They know you can't speak their language anyway
My husband was in Germany (Hamburg) on business with co-worker who is Indian (subcontinent Indian). Anyway, he ordered "Tzwi Gross Bier Bitte" (2 large beers please) in his best German accent. The waitress (in perfect German accented English) said "Right away Sir and I'll bring you the English language menu!

He was devastated! :)

Rudy is an ass- what is there to say- They have these T-shirts in the mall "Welcome to America- now Speak English" I wonder how well all the idiots who wear them would do if they moved to a country with a different language.
