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 we
arranged it so you did not have to speak German."
