Me Too!!
This is
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 AreYou?”
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.
