A Meeting of Admirals
 
A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included
Admirals from the U.S. , English, 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, 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."

You could have heard a pin drop.
