Horse chips... There is nothing in your post that is anything more than a joke.
1. Why would anyone answer a telephone like that unless they were expecting the person on the end to be speaking a foreign language.
2. If you genuinely thought this applied to any nation why would anyone but an American answer a telephone with "GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"
3. If you meant it to apply other countries can you possibly explain why non-English speaking nations would expect the person on the other to go away until they had learnt English?
4. Who anywhere where in the world would be rude enough to answer a telephone in that manner anyway?
As I said earlier maybe add a punch line and flesh it out a bit and I am sure it will be a welcome addition to the humour sections of the site.
I would also like to point out and I am sure you you would have discovered this without me as I know you are a big fan of rules but given the previous post maybe it was over looked.
General forum rules
3. English is the only allowed language in here.
