re: #26 PhillyPretzel
I will never forget the time when I was in John Wanamaker’s selling jewelry when a Canadian who spoke French approached the counter and asked if I spoke his language. I promptly answered “Je ne parle pas francais.” He responded in English, “That is a shame. You missed out on a sale.” I said, “Yes, I know.”
He probably wasn’t really going to buy anything anyway.
