Ya want to hear a bi-lingual joke?

:Dunks thrown tomato:

Ok then. Once upon a time in a far off land a bunch of missionaries were attending Spanish languge school. Because they were not allowed to have cars they had to get around by bus. They had no idea what the bus fare was so they got out their Spanish/English dictionary.

They looked up the word "How" Ah it was "cómo"

Next they looked up the word "much". It was "mucho"

So "how much" must be "Cómo mucho"

Imagine the surprise of the bus driver when two rather portly Americans got on his bus and said, "Cómo mucho"(I eat a lot)

Not wishing to offend these strange beings, perhaps this was a thing of pride in their country he politly replied "Se nota!" (So I see!)

I refuse to laugh because the OFST hasn't not officially started.

A Frenchman, Spaniard and German are drinking one night. The talk get's to who has the most descriptive and beautiful language.

Frenchie says, "We have zee most beautiful language. Imagine a butterfly. We call it "papillon". Zat says it all!"

The Spaniard says, "Oh no. Espanol is the most beautiful. "Mariaposa". How beautiful is that describing the butterfly.

Before he can finish, the German buts in - "NINE! NINE! NINE! Schemterlink! das ist der word!!"
