While on a speaking tour in Japan, former President Jimmy Carter told a very funny joke. Or did he? While on a speaking tour in Japan, former President Jimmy Carter was giving a speech at a Japanese college graduation ceremony. During his speech, he made a joke which made the crowd erupt in thunderous laughter. After he had finished giving the speech, former President Carter wanted to figure out how the translator had translated the joke so perfectly. But when Carter did ask the translator how he had done it, the translator sheepishly admitted he had not translated the joke at all. He had told the crowd instead "President Carter has told a very funny joke. Please laugh now"
