| Once Ronald Reagan met Indira Gandhi. She talks about Zail Singh s incompetence in English. Reagan boasts that he can teach Zail in 12 hours, and he will be perfect in English after that. So Zail Singh and Reagan are locked in a room. After only 6 hours, the door opens, and there comes Reagan, saying "Ae nahin seekh sagda!" (He can t learn!) |
| Bill Clinton fell deathly ill while being transported home from his Africa trip. Apparently he picked up a strange, life-threatening disease in one of the villages. He was rushed to Bethesda Naval Hospital for a complicated
operation. He went under the knife in the early morning, and when he awoke, he saw that the curtains were closed around him and it was dark. "Why are the curtains closed?" the President asked the Secret Service agent sitting beside his bed, "Is it night already?" "No, Sir," the agent said, "There is a huge fire across the street and we didn`t want you waking up and looking out the window and thinking that the operation was unsuccessful." |
| Laloo Prasad was given some Basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meets with President Bill Clinton. The instructor told Laloo, "Laloo ji, 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 Laloo Prasad 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. |
| During a publicity outing, Hillary sneaked off to visit a fortune-teller of some local repute. In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news. "There`s no easy way to say this, so I`ll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year." Visibly shaken, Hillary stared at the woman`s lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met the fortuneteller`s gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question. "Will I be acquitted?" |
