Funny thing happened at a local "ChinaTown" restaurant here in Provo, 
Utah...our fortune cookies were all in SPANISH!!  What a riot.  Fortunately 
(PI), we had someone who spoke Spanish with us.  We joked about whether or not 
the owners/servers knew that they even had Spanish fortune cookies (the food 
is terrifically authentic and the server had a very hard time with English).

Which reminds me of a great joke about a guy who drops by his favorite New 
York deli to find a new, Chinese waiter.  To his amazement, the waiter takes 
his order in flawless Yiddish.  The guy pulls the owner aside to ask where he 
found the Yiddish-fluent, Chinese waiter.  "Shhh," says the owner, "he thinks 
I'm teaching him English."
