Mistakes are part and parcel of life...so enjoy them with this master pieceeeeeeeeeeeee.... T his is a true story from the Japanese Embassy in US!!!     A few days ago, Prime Minister Taro Aso was given some Basic English conversation training before he visited Washington and met president Barack Obama. The instructor said to the Prime Minister, “when you shake hand with President Obama, please say – ‘How are you'.”   Then Mr. Obama 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 Aso met 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....” Then Aso replied “me too, ha-ha...” Then there was a long silence in the meeting room…
