Random Joke/Comic of the Fortnight

A European pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting. “Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he asks.

The two Americans just stare at him. “Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?” he tries. The two continue to stare.

“Parlare Italiano?” No response. “Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing. The guy drives off frustrated.

The first American turns to the second and says, “Y‘know, maybe we should learn a foreign language.”

“What for?” asks the other. “That guy knew four languages, and it didn’t do him any good.”

That came from spam! We need jokes! If you send us a good joke that we use in this newsletter, you’ll earn a stylin’ Noble T. Just reply to this email with your joke and we’ll let you know. Thanks!

Testimonial of the Fortnight

As with all of the classes I have taken at Noble Desktop, this class covered a great, manageable amount of material and was taught in a way that I was able to translate my previous design knowledge into this program. The teacher was excellent and I think everyone in the class had fun while we were there each night.”
