My father used to say:
“Ha ha, lachte de graaf op zijn Spaans, daar hij geen Nederlands kende, hetgeen een zeer goede opmerking was.”
Translation from the Dutch: “Ha ha, chuckled the count in Spanish, as he didn’t speak any Dutch, which was a very good point.”
I often quote my father and always get lots of blank looks. but I think it is beautiful. A google search threw up multiple hits for “Ha ha, chuckled the count in Spanish”, followed by all sorts of non-sequiturs (my fave: “And he threw his suntanned false teeth on the table”), though not my father’s version. Origin appears to be unknown.
Hope and change. Change you can believe in. (shrug)
