Ambasador: “Do you like salad ?”
Dikira nanya’in sholat, sang nyonya menjawab : “Oh yes, five times a day.”
Ambasador: “Wow, that’s very healthy. What kind of dressing do you like for salad ?”
Nyonya: “Mukena, of course.”
Sang ambasador berpikir keras, that must be a new dressing for salad I never knew before.

Sampai di bagian chinese food, sang nyonya berusaha membalas keramahan si ambasador. Bahasa Inggris pas-pasan, tapi nekad :

Nyonya (sambil nyendok mie yang masih panas) : “Do you like mie ?”
Ambasador (bingung, dipikirnya me = saya) : “Eeeeem ….. yes. With all respect.”
Nyonya (dengan mantap menimpali lagi) : “Still hot .. you know.”
Ambasador: ?!@?x???
