No english, no American benefits of any kind! Imagine us going to their countries and demanding they accomodate my language?

no benefits anyways. (refering to Gov. hand outs).
Ah,.. English
I was booking in an inmate one night,...
One thing we have to do is count their money and deposit it in our "machine",....
(They get a check when they are released)
Anyway,... This one dude was giving me the old "No ahblay English" line,... SO,.....
As I was counting his bills BEFORE I put them in the machine (which manually counts it),...
He had around 450 bucks
Another Officer asks me,.. "How much did he have there?"
I reply: "145 bucks"
He THEN "alertly" replies quite clearly,... "Thats B.S. Man,.... I had over 400 bucks there!"
THEN,... realizes he can speak English quite well,... and we busted him at his own game.
Always works.
WE had to learn it,....
So can THEY.

Wow that was well said! slimcake!.........They're taking over.. When you call my old union hall it says press 1 for English 2 for Spanish and 3 for Polish! What next?
Press 1 for English...
Too often you just get to speak to "Peggy"!
<hr width="75%" size="2">Oh, and I have never been offered a chance to "Press 3 for Finnish" either! Not even in Hancock, MI — the home of Finlandia University (formerly Suomi College) and where the street signs are in both English and Finnish!
