I’ve shamelessly borrowed this from Julie here, with her permission.

By Julie

This is from an Austrian newspaper:

Translation
“Hello Barack?It’s Herman.”
“Who?”
“Well,Herman from the EU.”
“Who?”
“Herman van Rompuy from Brussels.”
“Who?”
“President of the European Council.”
“Eh??”

Expanded version by Arlene

……………..

“Listen, do you know you can get into big trouble when you crank-call the White House”?

CLICK

“He hung up on me!”  “That arrogant **&*&*” and get me Tony Blair over there at Yale right now!!!”

“I’ll have to have Tony call Barack to explain just who I am!”

Expanded version:

“Hello Tony?It’s Herman.”
“Who?”
“Well, Herman from the EU.”
“Who?”
“Herman van Rompuy from Brussels.”
“Who?”
“President of the European Council.You have to call Barack and explain who I am.”

??????????????????

CLICK

……..White House

“Hello Barack?It’s Tony.”
“Hello Mr.President of the EU, Sir. I just had a crank-call from a guy called Herman, pretending to be you.”
“Oh whatever. Can we discuss the Mid-East now? And climate?  And the nukes? And Afghanistan? And Iraq…..and world peace???”
