Default Brilliant!

Excellent play on words! Some thoughts on why we don't all speak German:

Admirals from the U.S., Royal, Canadian, Australian and French Navies at a cocktail reception.

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."

Let the bashing begin!
