Guest guest Posted March 28, 1999 Report Share Posted March 28, 1999 A Swiss bhakta, looking for directions to Sridham Mayapur, at the Krsna-Nagar train station enquires two Bengali gentelmen: "Entschuldigung Sie Bitte, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he says. The two Bongs just stare at him. "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" The two continue to stare. "Parlare Italiano?" No response. "Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing. The Swiss bhakta walks off, extremely disgusted and frustrated. The first Bengali turns to the second and says, "zaanis bhaai, aamaar mate aktaa bidesi bhaashaa zene raakhle bhala hoi" "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language..." "Kano go?", says the other, "oi hata to saaidaa bhaasha zaanto. Kisu laabh hoila?" "Why?", says the other, "That bloke knew four languages, and that didn't do him any good!"
