I think we are at the point of "beating a dead horse".
Enclosed is the joke with the corrections except the one from Mark Davis
because the Swiss German question is less recognizable to me. Sorry Mark.
I wonder which code page Exchange will use for this. My guess is the
Windows code page to get the typographic quotes rather than UTF-8. However,
please don't tell me!

Out of Luck
A Swiss guy, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two
Americans are waiting.
"Entschuldigung, sprechen Sie Deutsch?" he says.
The two Americans just stare at him.
� Excusez-moi, parlez-vous fran�ais ? �
The two continue to stare.
"Parlare italiano?"
No response.
"�Hablan ustedes espa�ol?"
Still nothing.
The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted.
The first American turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should
learn a foreign language."
"Why?" says the other, "That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him
any good."
