    Agreed! I found it pretty funny though, even if it might be old.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Anyhow, I believe this was posted by EMFM in the jokes thread in the frontroom a couple of months ago.

    Never seen it before, I thought it was hilarious.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Polish is on the list, I'm sure. I think it's somewhere behind Mandarin.

    Väldigt bra!

    Anyway, I think both mandarin and Iambic hexameter beats polish when it comes to official EU language.

    It's just that it appeared to come out of thin air. Norway isn't even a member of the EU.

    But how many actually speak it?
