About 25 years ago, the parents of a friend of mine got in an elevator after eating in the top-floor restaurant of what was then the Bank of America building in San Francisco. A French couple stepped inside at the same time. The French husband asked if either of them spoke French. The American, who served in France during WWII, replied, "I don't, but my wife does. It was her major in college."

Each time the French couple asked the American woman a question, she was apparently dumb-struck, but her husband stepped into the breach and answered in fluent French.
