The French again

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
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." Suddenly the group became very quiet.

Don't forget it was the French who arranged it so we wouldn't have to
speak British. Poor Louie.
