"I think laughter is very imperative. And that's the important part of my life, of making people laugh so they can forget their problems. A good laugh is better than anything." http://saleemindia.blogspot.com "
This is a true story from the Japanese Embassy in US!!!!
***************************************************************************
A few years ago, Prime Minister Mori was took some Basic English conversation training before the visit to Washington and meets 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 misguidedly said "Who Are You?"
Mr Clinton was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humour:
"Well, I am Hilary's husband, haha...." Then Mori replied confidently "Me too, hahaha.." Then there was a long silence in the meeting room
