#4 Sounds familiar . . . Remember this story?

The American ambassador visited the Romanian president. In the waiting room he talked with two of the ministers for five minutes.

When he entered he said to the Romanian president, "I really don't want to bother you but I talked with two of your ministers, and my gold watch disappeared."

So the president answered, "OK. I'll take care of it," left the room and came back two minutes later with the watch.

The ambassador said, "Thank you very much. I hope that I didn't cause any crisis between you and them."

"That's OK," said the president. "They did not notice."
