In the window of a restaurant near one of the railway stations in Paris is a placard bearing the words, “All languages spoken here.” A customer, drawing the attention of the waiter to this said : “You must have quite a number of interpreters at this establishment ?” “No, sir,” was the answer, “we have not a single one.” “What!

“Why, the customers, of course, sir,” was the reply of the unabashed waiter.
