Very similarly: "How do you spot the American in Paris? He's the only one insisting that people speak English to him"

I've had personal experience with that. Try to speak English, and the response is a facial expression and a sound made by letting out air from tightly closed lips along with a shrug of the shoulders. Try talking in the even in the most broken French, and they'll politely answer you in English.

I had this experience when I lived in Israel. You start speaking Hebrew to someone and they hear your accent and they say... 'No, It's okay, I speak english'. When that happened, I'd go into my full-on NY, 300 wpm english and then after the first sentence they'd quickly flip back to hebrew

When attempting French just stick in at the end lentemant s'il-vous-plait, so you don't get bombarded with 300wpm French.

After WWII, Albert Einstein moved to the US and would travel from university to university to deliver talks on his theory of relativity. For these trips, he had a Chauffeur named Bob who'd drive him from school to school. Bob would also sit in and listen to the lectures. One day, on their way to a lecture, Bob turns to Einstein and says - "you know, I've heard your lecture so many times, I could probably give it at this point." To which Einstein replies - "maybe you should - let's switch!". Given it was the 1950s and pictures of einstein weren't widly distributed, they figured why not. So about a mile from the college, they switch spots, and Bob gets up to give the lecture, while Einstein, dressed as the Chauffer, takes a seat in the back of the auditorium.

Much to Einstein's surprise, Bob is spot on. He delivers the talk perfectly, and even answers the first few questions from the audience. Of course, most of the questions are the same one people usually ask, and so Bob already knows the answers. But then, the department chair asks a more difficult question, one that Einstein knows Bob can't possibly answer. He waits with baited breath to see what Bob would do. Bob looks at the professor and without missing a beat, says:

"That's such an east question, even my Chauffeur can answer it!"

After the Yom Kippur War, Gold Meir comes to Washington to thank President Nixon for the US help in winning the war. During the conversation, he suggests that they have an exchange of Generals. "Seeing that the Israeli generals had experience fighting against soviet equipment and tactics in 67 and 73, it would be beneficial for the US military to learn from them. Maybe you could send us some generals of yours, and in return we could send you generals of ours," suggested Nixon. "Which generals did you have in mind?," asked Meir. "We were thinking maybe Generals Tal, Sharon, and Gur - what Generals would Israel like in return?", replied Nixon. "Only two, " replied Meir, " General Motors and General Electric"

A lady lost her husband. She asked the Chevra Kadisha to bury him 50 feet underground. When questioned on why it needs to be so deep she says “because deep deep down he has a good heart”.

A Rabbi, a priest, and a Minister are discussing their fundraising tactics.

The priest says - 'I try a hard-guilt approach: I generally talk for about 30 minutes about how G-d frowns on people that are fortunate that don't share with those in need, and at the end of the service, the plate is full'

The minister says -'I try a softer sell: I speak for about 35 minutes about how wonderfully blessed we are, and how our g-dly duty is to share g-ds blessing with others, and after the service is over, everyone is handing me a check."

The Rabbi says -'It's funny, I try a combination of those techniques. I get up at the pulpit at the beginning of the service and I tell the congregation they have 3 choices for today's sermon - I can give a 30 minute guilt-fest to get them to give money, I can talk for 35 minutes about how fortunate they are to make them realize that they should be more generous, or if they meet the fundraising goal before the sermon is scheduled to start, I won't speak at all. I've yet to give a speech".

The Goldbergs decided to move up in society, so they joined a very waspy country club. They quickly became friends with another couple they met there - the Joneses. After hanging out at the club, the Joneses decided to invite the Goldbergs for Sunday Brunch.

That morning, right before the Goldbergs were set to arrive, Mrs. Jones surveyed their dining room and noticed something odd - the table was set for 8 people, and not the 4 she expected.

"James," she asked her butler, " why is the table set for 8? I told you that we are only expecting the Goldbergs?"
"Yes, Madam," the butler replied," I had originally set the table for 4, but then Mr. Goldberg phoned this morning to say that they were bringing both the Bagels and the Bialys".

Tom and Bill were navy buddies who hadn't seen each other in years. Tom happened to be passing through Bill's town on business and offered to take him out to dinner so that they could catch up.

Over dinner, Tom asked Bill what it was like being the father of 4 teenage boys.

"It's actually a lot like life on the carrier," said Bill, " 24x7 there are people eating in the kitchen, there's laundry being done, people sitting at computers, and getting tended to in sick bay".

"Wow, " replied Tom, " and I guess it's great being the captain of that ship?"

Bob laughed - " Captain, heck no - I'm the cook, launderer. computer tech and medic"
