The Problem With Speaking English

Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Re: The Problem With Speaking English

AH so.........
I think the problem is that the English eat their food too fast..

Unless your name is SPEEDY GONZALES, do what us Englanders do.
When abroad if you speak very loud & very slowly, they understand you perfectly (add gesticulations to Italians)

Same with food, chew it very slowly & make lots of noise.

Re: The Problem With Speaking English

Great joke but something to get hold of. If you drink red wine, eat more fish, eat pasta, enjoy the food, unrushed as mentioned you probably wont have a heart attack. Its all the rubbish food we have inherited like burgers, the big M shop, which are just not suitable to sustain your health. I remember some guy decided to live on the big M stuff for a month. They then monitored his health and it had deteriorated just in a month. His cholesterol, blood pressure and other things had gone sky high. They said it would kill him sooner than later if he continued eating M food.
Plus the fizzy sugar drinks too.
I agree with being multilingual.
