I got this off of another board.
WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE TO SPEAK ENGLISH?
An officer in the US Naval reserve was attending a conference that included admirals from both the US 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 and Americans arranged
it so you would not have to speak German."
The group became silent.
