Jokes Home : Police : Convoluted Joke
An American general was speaking, via an interpreter, to a batallion of Vietnamese troops. At one point, he told a rather long and somewhat convoluted joke. When it was the interpreter's turn to interpret, he spoke for about four seconds, and the audience burst into laughter, pleasing the general.
A captain, along on the trip, turned to a Vietnamese officer and asked how he managed to convey the general's joke so quickly.
The Vietnamese officer replied, "The interpreter said 'The American general has just told a joke. Everyone please laugh.'"
