A few years ago, I decided to visit my
brother who was stationed in Germany. I
assumed that most Germans would speak
English. But I found that many people
spoke only their native tongue -
including the ticket inspector on the
train.
He punched my ticket, then
chatted cordially for a bit, making
gestures like a windmill. I simply
nodded from time to time to show him
that I was interested.
When he had
gone, an American woman in the
compartment leaned forward and asked if
I spoke German.
"No," I confessed.
"Then that explains," she said, "why
you didn't bat an eyelid when he told
you that you were on the wrong train."

for a chat.
"I'm sorry dear," said Bill, "but I'm up

news and some bad news for you, dear."

girlfriend back home. It read as
follows:
Dear Ricky,
I can no longer continue our
relationship. The distance between us is
just too great. I must admit that I have
cheated on you twice, since you've
been gone, and it's not fair to
either of us. I'm sorry.
Please return the picture of me that I
sent to

Manning the computer help desk for the
local school district was my first job.
And though I was just an intern, I took
the job very seriously. But not every
caller took me seriously.
- Can I talk to a real person? a caller
asked.
- I am real, I said.
- Oh, I'm sorry, the caller said. That
was rude of me. What I meant to say was,
could I talk to someone who actually
knows something?

about to die.
