U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who had an indisputable sense of humor, went to Japan for a lecture. Reading his report, he made a joke. The translator immediately brought it to the audience, and the Japanese audience exploded in laughter. After finishing his report, Reagan decided to personally thank the translator and asked how he managed to convey to the Japanese the meaning of the American joke. A little confused, the translator replied, “You see, I didn’t translate anything, but I just told them that you struck.”
