If you had a dollar...

If I had a dollar for every time somebody said "If I had a dollar".....

if I had a 33 Baht for every time a German walked up to me in Pattaya & started asking me directions
(No sprechen sie Deutsch!)

similarly in Amman, Jordan, I'd get folks coming up to me & trying to start up a conversation in Arabic
(Ana la 'atahaddath alearabia!)

Oddly enough, I used the phrase in Bangkok standing in front of an Egyptian restaurant, when some dude came up and started speaking Arabic to me

luckily I learned how to say "I can't speak your language!" in many many languages, LOL!
