When President Jimmy Carter gave a speech in Japan back in the early 1980s, he opened with a joke to warm up the crowd. The audience burst out laughing — more than he expected. Afterward, Carter asked the interpreter how he managed to translate the joke so well. The interpreter smiled and admitted, “I didn’t translate the joke. I just said, ‘President Carter told a funny story. Everyone please laugh.’”
