Why Admirals Speak English
An officer in the U.S. Naval reserve was attending a conference that included admirals from both the U.S. Navy and the French Navy.At a cocktail reception, he found himself in a small group that included personnel from both navies. The French admiral started complaining that whereas Europeans learned many languages, Americans learned only English. He then asked:
“Why is it that we have to speak English in these conferences rather than you speak French?”
Without hesitating, the American admiral replied: “Maybe it’s because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you would not have to speak in German.”
The group became silent.

How typical of a french person to ask such a question and how fitting the response.

Good call, whichever admiral it said that. :wink:
Also……whats with your new name Jeniffer? Was it too bland?

I’m watching all the old Babylon 5 episodes again and remembered we had Emperor Mollari, so I thought I’d transform my persona to counter his evil countenance. :)

So says the the skirt-wearing, entrail-eating hill dweller.
But he also has a good one in another episode: “Noodle-armed choir boys.”
