Wayne Van Sickle once wrote a guidebook to Algonquin Provincial Park in a language that he could neither write nor speak (German). He also managed to land a job teaching at a French school in Calgary, even though he could barely speak that language. Of course, this might partly explain how one of his friends ended up in Anchorage, Alaska without pants.
