A few days ago, Prime Minister Mori had been given some Basic English conversation training before he got to visit Washington and meet President Barack Obama…
The instructor told Mr. Mori, ‘When you shake hand with President Obama, please say “How are you”. Then Mr. Obama should say, “I’m fine, and you?” Now you should say “Me too”. Afterwards, the interpreter will do the work for you.’
It looks quite simple, but the truth is…
When Mr. Mori met Mr. Obama, he mistakenly said ‘Who are you?’ (Instead of ‘How are you?’)
Mr. Obama was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor: ‘Well, I’m Michelle’s husband, ha-ha-ha…’
Then Mr. Mori replied ‘Me too, ha-ha-ha…’
