American (A) to Hungarian Ambassador (H) in WW2: A: So you're from Hungary, yes? H: Yes. A: Who's your leader then? H: Admiral Miklós Horthy. A: He's an admiral, is he? So I assume your nation must have a large fleet? H: No sir, it's landlocked. A: So... he's an admiral with no fleet, then. What else is he known by? H: He's also known as the Regent of Hungary. A: Ah, I see. How old is the King then? H: We have no king, sir. A: So the regent is just a title- nevermind. I heard your nation declared war on us recently. Is that true? H: Yes. A: Does your nation treat the United States as an enemy, then? H: No. Romania is our enemy, not your nation. A: So, is that Romania on our side? H: They are on our side, sir. A: Then why do you fight with them, when they are on your side? H: To regain lost land. A: So.... your nation has an admiral and regent, but neither fleet nor king, and you fight with your ally? How do you european nations work with this kind of politics? H: You'll never understand us Europeans, sir. This post is Freddy-Approved |

This post is Freddy-Approved The best part is that it's real (according to certain sources; it may have been an American urban myth) and I just paraphrased it to make it sound less official. |
