Comms at the White House

[steffen]

Read about this conversation inside the White House. I know it has nothing to do with sailing but i could not resist posting it.Would not be suprised if it is authentic. It sounds like him alright.

Condoleeza R.: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of
China.
George B.: Great. Lay it on me.
Condoleeza R.: Hu is the new leader of China.
George B.: That's what I want to know.
Condoleeza R.: That's what I'm telling you.
George B.: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condoleeza R.: Yes.
George B.: I mean the fellow's name.
Condoleeza R.: Hu.
George B.: The guy in China.
Condoleeza R.: Hu.
George B.: The new leader of China.
Condoleeza R.: Hu.
George B.: The Chinaman!
Condoleeza R.: Hu is leading China.
George B.: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Condoleeza R.: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.
George B.: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?
Condoleeza R.: That's the man's name.
George B.: That's who's name?
Condoleeza R.: Yes.
George B.: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader
of
China?
Condoleeza R.: Yes, sir.
George B.: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the
Middle East.
Condoleeza R.: That's correct.
George B.: Then who is in China?
Condoleeza R.: Yes, sir.
George B.: Yassir is in China?
Condoleeza R.: No, sir.
George B.: Then who is?
Condoleeza R.: Yes, sir.
George B.: Yassir?
Condoleeza R.: No, sir.
George B.: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of
China.
Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Condoleeza R.: Kofi?
George B.: No, thanks.
Condoleeza R.: You want Kofi?
George B.: No.
Condoleeza R.: You don't want Kofi.
George B.: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk.

And then get me the U.N.
Condoleeza R.: Yes, sir.
George B.: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condoleeza R.: Kofi?
George B.: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Condoleeza R.: And call who?
George B.: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condoleeza R.: Hu is the guy in China.
George B.: Will you stay out of China?!
Condoleeza R.: Yes, sir.
George B.: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the
U.N.
Condoleeza R.: Kofi.
George B.: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.

(Condi picks up the phone.)

Condoleeza R.: Rice, here.
George B.: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we
should
send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East.

Happy sailing, Steffen

You're right. This has nothing to do with sailing. I don't really understand why so many Europeans like to sneer at the US and its President - they've more reason to sneer at us and the antics of our leaders.

Confused?

Try asking how to get from Hoo to Ware via Wytch Farm.

 

[steffen]

Dear Peter,
1st: i am not sneering at the US; by no means, its a great country if only there where not so many guns around.
2nd: what makes you think i sneer only at its president; we (Holland) have politician that are betond sneering; there are certified nutcases amongst them.
3rd: the present president is very dangerous for world peace, so worth sneering to.
4th: last but by no means least; where is your sense of humor?

Nice one Steffan

You were right in your first post, this is nothing to do with sailing and should not be on this board. Are you also aware that Chineese people consider the word "chinaman" to be extreemly offensive. So cut out the ethnic slurs.

 

[Guest]

Are you aware that Chinese people are greatly offended by people mis-spelling Chinese. So cut the ethnic slurs.

 

[petery]

Do the jokes work in Dutch as well ? !!!

 

[davidhand]

You're correct my appologies to any Chinese. However a spelling error is I think different to the deliberate use of a slur, the Oxford Dictionary defines chinaman as derog. chinese, and every chinese person I've met detests the term. Personally I cannot see any difference from calling myself an Englishman. But perhaps the gentleman was using a cricket reference.
I'll stop winnying now.

I'm not surprised! I just heard that George W still thinks that Al Qaida is the bloke who nearly beat him in the Presidential election.

Re: I\'m with you Stef

I thought it was funny.
Are China Dolls China Woman?

Re: I\'m with you Stef

And me - the non-boating stuff is often more interesting than the usual...

 

[steffen]

Absolutely, but the problem is that in translation they usually lose the point.
Our present prime minister is generally nicknamed Harry Potter because he looks like the guy form the movie.

 

[steffen]

I should make some amendments.
Under 3rd i should have put IMHO because the point is debatable (is it?) and
If i have offended anyone from China or descendants thereof i do apologize; i did not know chinaman was insulting
Then again i did not think this one up, i merely quoted something i read.
