A Swiss guy, looking for directions, pulls up at a rest stop where two bikers are leaning against their bikes. “Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he asks.

The two bikers just stare at him.

“Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?” he tries.

The two continue to stare.

“Parlare Italiano?” No response. “Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing. The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted.

The first biker turns to the second and says, “Y’know, maybe we should learn a foreign language.”

“Why?” says the other. “That guy knew four languages, and it didn’t do him any good.”
