THE AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN

An American businessman is entertaining some overseas business guests on the golf course.

The first guest, who is from Italy,

tees off and hits a good shot 200 yards down the fairway.

As the American businessman knows a small amount of Italian he says:

“Buon tiro”, which means “Good shot”.

The Italian businessman replies:

“Grazie”.

The second guest, who is from France,

tees off and hits a fantastic shot that lands on the green thirty feet from the hole.

As the American businessman knows a small amount of French he says:

“Tir fantastique”, which means “Fantastic shot”.

The French businessman replies:

“Merci”.

The third guest, who is from Japan,

tees off and amazingly the ball goes straight in the hole, a hole in one!

The American businessman doesn’t know many Japanese words or phrases

but when he dated a Japanese girl during his overseas business trips

she used to moan when he made love to her and she would shout out

“Ura-ana, ura-ana”,

and which he repeats to his Japanese guest.

The Japanese businessman replies:

“What do you mean, wrong hole?”
