A Royal Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the English, U..S. , Canadian, Australian and French Navies.. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, the English 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 British Admiral replied, Maybe its because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis and Americans arranged it so you wouldnt have to speak German. You could have Heard a pin drop.
