Bob And Jim In Paris

Two Americans, Bob and Jim, are on vacation in Paris. They're walking down the street, when a car pulls up, slamming on the brakes. The driver leans out.

"Parlez vous Francais?"

Bob looks at Jim and shrugs.

"Habla Español?"

The two men just stare.

"Parli Italiano?"

No answer. The man throws his hands up and then drives away.

They walk on a bit farther, and then Bob says to Jim, "You know, we should learn another language."

"Why?" Jim asks. "That guy knew three languages and it didn't do him any good!"
