WHY DO WE 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, Kiwis and Americans arranged it so that you would not have to

speak German."

The group became silent!

damn right.
