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 are you?".
Mr Clinton was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor : "Well, I am Hilary's husband, ha ha..." Then Mori replied confidently "Me too, ha ha ha.." Then there was a  long  silent moment in the meeting room.
