This happened a while back, but I never got to putting it on the forum. And since it happened a while ago, I may have mixed up some of the details, but that doesn't really matter.
Okay, so the Japanese ambassador was preparing to meet with President Obama. His advisers suggested that he learn some simple English to greet Obama.
So, they taught him to say: "How are you?"
Then they told him that Obama would probably reply: "Good, and you?" and that he should then say: "Me too."
After that, he would let the translators do the rest of the work.
When he finally met up with Obama, he messed up his greeting and ended up saying: "Who are you?"
After a moment of shocked silence, Obama answer humorously, "Well, I'm Michelle's husband. Hahaha."
It was at this point that the ambassador remembered the right thing to say, and said: "Me too. Hahaha."
