**A few years ago, Prime Minister Mori was given some Basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets **president Bill Clinton…
The instructor told Mori “Prime Minister, when you shake hand with President Clinton, please say ‘How r u’.”
**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.’ **
**It looks quite simple, but the truth is… **
**When Mori met Clinton , he mistakenly said ‘Who r u?’ (Instead of ‘How r u?’.) ****Mr.Clinton was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor: ** 'Well, I’m Hillary’s husband, ha-ha…
Then Mori replied 'Me too, ha-ha…
Then there was a long silence in the meeting room!!!
