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.'"
