Turns out I'm going to a cocktail/wine tasting at the Swiss Ambassador's residence
Going in two weeks with a singles group I'm a part of. What intelligent questions should I ask the Ambassador?

4. Get drunk and start giving him a lot of shit about where he keeps the nazi gold.

5. Ask him why he didn't invite me back.
We were at a summer backyard party there a few years ago.

Fondue is the big Swiss thing. Ask him what is his favorite type.

Talk about the bears in Bern, the capitol.

Ask them why they are named after the typeface Helvetica (Confoederatio Helvetica)

:rofl:

8. Haha, apparently fondue is the big thing, we're going to have it too
So are there wild bears roaming Bern, or is there some kind of circus thing?
