[OT] Outsourcing [ was Re: Legal aspects ]

[Roger Oberholtzer]

True incident. I was on a boat from England to Denmark. I went to a bar
to get a beer and was asked something by the guy in front of me. I
replied that, sorry, I don't speak Danish. He replied that, sorry, but
he had been speaking English. I felt real real stupid.
