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 would say, "I am fine, and you?" Now you should say 'me too'.
Afterwards we the 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 ha..."
Then Mori replied confidently "Me too, ha ha ha.."
Then there was a long silent moment, in the meeting room
THE AMERICA'S CLEVEREST PRESIDENT
An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board but
only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger said, " I'm Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball
player, the Lakers need me, I can't afford to die....So he took the
first pack and left the plane.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, said, "I am the wife of the
former president of the United States, I am also the most ambitious
woman in the world and I am a New York Senator and a potential future
president." She just took the second parachute and jumped out of the
plane.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, said: "I'm President of the
United States of America, I have a great responsibility being the
leader of a superpower nation. And above all I'm the cleverest
President in American history, so America's people won't let me die."
So he put on the pack next to him and jumped out of the plane.
The fourth passenger says to the fifth passenger namely Pope (a 10
year-old school boy), "I am old and frail and I don't have many
years left, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last
parachute.
The boy said, "It's OK, there's a parachute left for you. America's
cleverest President has taken my schoolbag."
