I was knocked unconscious in a motorcycle crash in 1969 and for three years afterward could only speak Stooge. (Razzbanyah Yatch E Benfucchi? Yaski Taski! Mah Hah? Ah Hah!)

I’m planning a trip to the zoo next week where my wife will bash me on the head with a brick next to the Hippo enclosure. I hope, when I wake up, to be able to become the world’s first “Hippo Whisperer.” (All Rights Reserved, out soon in paperback. Coming to a theater near you in the spring of 2011.)

An Irish born priest whom I know was severely beaten and nearly killed by a homeless schizophrenic who came to the church asking for help. Miraculously, the priest survived, recovered, and returned to his duties. The good father though spoke without his Irish brogue for about a year.

"You never know when recovering from such a trauma how the brain will react," hospital director Dujomir Marasovic told the U.K.'s Telegraph.

That's not much of an explanation. Reactions are one thing. Doing something you never had the ability to do is quite another thing.

This has the makings of an ethnic joke:

What do you call a Croatian with brain damage? A German.
What happens if she suffers more brain damage? She becomes a liberal.

I know a guy who got so drunk he was speaking his own language.

Many Germans spend their vacation in Croatia (it’s a beautiful country). Perhaps she is repeating sentences she heard them say.
