About ten years ago two older men were talking in a waiting room. The were talking about where they grew up and both had lived in the Middle East for awhile. They both spoke four languages. They started talking about WWII and one man said, the first start of WWII began with the Suez Canal. The other man nodded and said he agreed. Then they talked about which language they should speak in and one man said his mother was French and the other man said so was his and they began speaking in French and I couldn't follow along any more.
