Says the English-speaking man to a non-native English-speaking friend:
"The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
On the other hand, the Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
The Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
I wonder why?"
The non-native English-speaker replies:
"That's easy! Eat and drink what you like - it's speaking English that will kill you!"
