The difficulty of being bilingual

A Boer goes to see an English speaking lawyer in order to start divorce proceedings. 
The lawyer asks him, "May I help you?" 
The Boer says, "Ja. I would like to have a divorce." 
The lawyer asks him, "Do you have any grounds?" 
The Boer says, "Ja. I got 600 hektyres." 
The lawyer says, "Sir, you don't understand. Do you have a suit? 
The Boer says, "Ja. Of course I got a suit. I wore it to church on Sundays." 
The lawyer says, "Ahmm. No, what I mean sir, is, do you have a case?" 
The Boer says proudly, "Now let me tell you, that are not good trackers. I got two John Deeres." 
The lawyer is beginning to sweat. "Sir. Do you have a grudge?" 
The Boer's also a bit irritated by now. "Ja. I of course I got a grudge. That's where I park the bakkie." 
The lawyer, sighing, asks, "Does your wife beat you up or something?" 
The Boer says, "No, we both get up at 04:30." 
By now the lawyer is getting really frustrated, but tries one last question "Does your wife nag? Is she a nagger?" 
The Boer says, "No, SHE'S white. But our last child is a nagger. That's why I wants to get a divorce."
