Episode 50
‘‘African King
Years ago, an African King was given some basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets President Bill Clinton.
The instructor told the African King, “When you shake hands 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 the work for you.”
When the African King met Clinton, he mistakenly said, “Who are you?” (Instead of “How are you?).
Mr. Clinton was a bit shocked, but still managed to react, “Well, I’m Hillary’s husband.”
Then the African King replied, “Me too.”
