Learn More Languages?

A German, looking for directions in New York , walks up to a bus stop where two

 Americans are waiting.

"Entschuldigung sprechen Sie Deutsch?" he asks.

The two Americans just stare at him.

"Parlez-vous francais?" he says. 

The two continue to stare , so the German tries again" Parlate italiano?" 

No response.

"Hablan ustedes espaeno?? Still nothing.


Frustrated, the German guy leaves.The first American says,


 "you know, we should learn a foreign language."

"why should we? asks the other.

"he knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."
