I was trying to think of why anyone would want to learn Navaho, then realized that it would come in handy. a friend I met years ago worked at Taco Bell and wanted to get fired. (Can you see the recipe for disaster here?) Do you remember how they used to have a sign above the counter that showed a picture of the "food" and the pronunciation? (Brr-ee-toh, tah-ko...) Well, he got some taco chips and put really salty beans on them, covered them with a bunch of other crap, topped them with cheese and took a picture of them. He had the picture enlarged, pasted it onto the board next to the other "food" and called them "Xcho'lxqurdles" (or something equally unpronounceable) and priced them at twenty-nine cents. Then he hid a tape recorder under the counter during the lunch rush and recorded people trying to say the name. He made them taste really horrible so nobody would ever order them a second time, and just left the sign up there to see how long it would be before anybody noticed. He got bored with it by the second day, so he raised the price to $5 on the theory that if anybody ordered them he would just pocket the money because he supplied most of the liver and pickles, etc. that made up the unique ingredients. When nobody ordered any, he climbed up into the little bell tower with a microphone and yelled at people as they got out of their cars "hey! You in the red shirt! You've won a free coke! Just order the xsdkjfhtjhrs and you'll get a coke for free!" That lasted about 10 minutes before he got his wish and was promptly fired by the manager. Cool, huh? True story. If only he'd have spoken Navaho...
