When my son was working at Egghead, (you know how long ago that was) a man came in trying to buy something and didn't speak a single word of English, only Spanish. He tried to get someone to help him doing all the familiar things, speaking slowly and carefully. Several sales people tried to get him to leave and come back with a translator. All he got was frustrated and angry. For some reason, it made my son frustrated and angry who got so mad he spoke to him in French.
The man broke into a huge smile, so happy to find someone who could understand him and answered in French. It turned out to be a large sale once the language thingy got solved.
To this day, it reminds me of I Love Lucy.
