******* TRUE STORY *******

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 Hillary's
husband, ha ha..." Then Mori replied confidently "Me too, ha ha ha.."
Then there was a long silent moment in the meeting room.
