The former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari will receive the Nobel Peace Prize today. He has contributed to solving many global conflicts and with great results. Do you know how?Ahtisaari (with totally incomprehensible English): You guys should really stop fighting now.
Aceh rebel (terrorist, murderer, whatever you call them, in Indonesian): Did you understand what he said? Is he making fun of our English?
Indonesian government official (in Indonesian): No, I don’t understand a word he says. Still, after 5 days, I don’t understand anything he is saying. I also think he is mocking us for our English. I can’t almost take it anymore.
Ahtisaari (looking very hungry): Guys, we should take a break for lunch now. Think over what I just said.
Aceh rebel (in Indonesian): I understood lunch. Eating again, I think he should look at a mirror. Isn’t he fat enough.
Indonesian government official (in Indonesian): This guy’s eating is costing our government a fortune. Only after 5 days we have spent the whole budget for one year’s official government dinners. This must stop now.
Aceh rebel (in Indonesian): Let’s sign the bloody papers, nobody can take this torture any longer.
Indonesian government official (in English): Dear Ahtisaari, we have come to an agreement. Let’s skip the lunch, we will sign the papers in the limo on your way to the airport.
