A few years ago, Prime Minister Mori was given some Basic English
conversation training before he visits Washington and meets president
Bill Clinton.

The instructor told Mori "Prime Minister, when you shake hand with
President Clinton, please say 'how are you'. Then Mr. Clinton should
say, "I am fine, and you?" Now you should say 'me too'.

Afterwards we, translators, will do all the work for you." It looks
quite simple, but the truth is....When Mori met Clinton, he mistakenly
said "Who Are You?" Mr. Clinton was a bit shocked but still managed to
react with humor: "Well, I am Hilary's husband, ha, ha..." Then Mori
replied confidently "Me too... ha, ha, ha"

:>.<: :D :lol:

Then there was a long silent moment in the meeting room

Oh dear, that is so funny. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm sure there is something similar about former President Carter on a trip to Poland. I will see if I can find it. :thumup:
