Whoo hoo, The crazy Iranian is showing off his first lady! What a babe!

Interesting that even in Turkish they use "first lady". :) Just because you don't understand a language, it doesn't make it gibberish.

How do we know that's even a human woman under there? It could be a camel or something.

Did anyone watch last week's Last Comic Standing? A comedian did a couple of jokes about what Mardi Gras would be like in the Middle East. Guys yelling from the balcony, "Show us your nose! C'mon, both nostrils!"

That picture made me think of that. :D

I understood the part where they wrote "First Lady"!
I understand English, the rest are gibberish! Except food words in Italian!!

That was my TOTD yesterday, what other languages people here can use fluently. I don't understand only knowing one language, and I don't understand the propensity some Americans have for being PROUD of only knowing one language.

If you are never going to travel outside the country and you have no interest in reading literature or research, knowing another language is simply unnecessary. It is an accomplishment akin to ballroom dancing.

Studying a language can improve your own English skills a great deal but there are plenty of people with excellent English skills who aren't fluent in another language. The effort is helpful but not required.

:eek: My God! Why would you purposely intend never to travel outside of your own country? :eek:
