-->God Bless America

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
admirals from the US, British, Canadian, Australian, and French Navies.
At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a group of
half dozen or so officers that included personnel from most of the countries

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks,
but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans
learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked:
"Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences,
rather than speaking French?"
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied:
"Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies, and Americans
arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."
It got so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop.
