Thanks, Ed, for being a peacemaker. Here's
one for you:

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.
