Classic

To set the scene: this exchange happened in the S-Bahn station around 2 AM on Friday.

Irish guy: Excuse me, do you speak English?
Me: Yes.
Irish guy: Do you know which train to take to get to the Hauptbahnhof?
Me: Well, I'm not sure if the next one does, but we're taking the S2 which I know runs right through there.
Irish guy: Thanks. Your English is really good!
Me: ....That's because I'm American.
Irish guy: Oh...I thought you had a bit of an American accent.
