I had to take a visiting employee from France to an emergency dental visit.  He spoke no English and I speak no French.  The long version of this story is quite interesting, but too long for posting.  Short version:  Waiting at the pharmacy for prescriptions I met a man who spoke French, and he was able to communicate with the Frenchman.  The man gave me his business card, and after I showed it to a male coworker, that coworker told me the man who helped was most likely an escort (yep - that kind of escort!).  Yuck!  I've always been a little naive, but that was just too embarrassing.  I often look back and wonder what the Frenchman and that man were discussing in French while I sat there totally oblivious to what they were saying!
