HAHAHA

A few years ago, Prime Minister Ahmad was given some basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets President Bush.

The instructor told Ahmad; when you shake hand with President Bush, please say ‘how are you’. Then Mr. Bush should say, ‘I am fine, and you?’ Now, you should say ‘me too’. Afterwards we, translators, will do the work for you.’

It looks quite simple, but the truth is…

When Ahmad met Bush, he mistakenly said
‘Who are you ?’

Mr. Bush was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor.
‘Well, I’m Hillary’s husband, ha-ha…’

Then Ahmad replied
‘me too, ha-ha…’.

Then there was a long silence in the meeting room... =)
