Haha...

Knowing Spanish comes in handy during the game. Players who speak Spanish around here tend to express their frustration in Spanish, so when then they do I respond to them in Spanish. You should see the way the jaws drop when they hear it from me...

I stupidly took four years of French in high school. At the time, students were told that French was one of the official languages of the European Common Market, the U.N., and the Olympics. I figured that, being a New Englander (with 1/8 French blood in my veins), I had more of a chance of visiting nearby Quebec, than I did of visiting Spain, Mexico, or South America. Little did I know, back in the late 1960's, that the United States would, in 40 years, have the fifth largest Spanish speaking population in the world.

If I ever have a French speaking coach giving me some problems I can always respond to him with, "J'ai entendu qu'asse'et celui est votre avertissement".

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries?

You must have learned French off the menu in a French Restaurant, however there is one good thing about your translation. If the coach, like you, also learned a little French off the menu in a French Restaurant, at least he thinks that I'm insulting him. That's more fun than charging him with a technical foul.
