Clinton

A true story from the Japanese Embassy in US:

Prime Minister Mori was given some basic English
conversation training before he visits Washington and meets with
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..""

Then there was a long silent moment in the meeting room.
