During the evening hours, somewhere in the Bronx, a lone German tourist was mugged by five thugs. Seeing their baseball bats and brass knuckles ready to strike, the poor man started to scream:
- Nein! Nein...!
...and suddenly four more thugs joined in!

An American business advisor was invited to give speech for a big Japanese company in its HQ. He prepared himself for the oratory, confident in his skills that never failed him. But when he was actually performing the speech, he noted to his disappointment that Japanese audience paid little to none attention to his well pointed jokes and wide vocabulary. If fact they were bored - plain and simple. He finished and sat among the Japanese member of the company board, depressed by his cold reception. The next - Japanese - speaker immediately caught the audience's attention and after few short bursts of laughter his oration received loud applause. The American did the same and started clapping his hands, thinking "Hey, this guy must be really good - he deserves it". But suddenly Japanese chairman grabbed his hand saying:
- You can't do that, Artman-san!
- Why? This man must be an excellent speaker...?
- No! He's just translating your speech...
