An amateur translator from English to Japanese happened to find a temporary job. The first he has to do is this; " Go the extra mile. It makes your boss look like an incompetent slacker." Because the Japanese translator does not have a sense to understand the above, his work in Japanese reads; "Don't go the extra mile, or it reveals you as an incompetent slacker like your boss."
IN WAKE OF JONES DISMISSAL, A NEW FOCUS FOR STARR WASHINGTON, April 1 (Associated Press)--In the wake of the dismissal of the Paula Jones sexual-harassment lawsuit, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr is focusing his investigation on allegations that President Clinton and members of the White House staff regularly drink red wine with fish, according to sources close to the investigation. The latest allegations arise out of confidential results of tests performed by the FBI Crime lab on a dress seized during a search of the Watergate apartment of former White House intern Monica S. Lewinsky, the sources added. After weeks of conflicting reports about the test results, the sources confirmed that they "definitely indicate" the presence of tannins "consistent with full-bodied domestic red wines such as Merlot or Zinfandel." If confirmed, the results would contradict earlier White House reports that any red wine consumed with fish by staffers was "a light Beaujolais Nouveau," a wine some legal experts had considered acceptable with steakier fish such as wasabi-crust charcoal-grilled yellow-fin tuna. "Of course these are only allegations," Sen. John Ashcroft, R-Mo., said in reaction to published reports about the course of Starr's investigation. "They are, however, extremely serious. I suggest that the President tell the American people the facts, and then step down and report to Allenwood Penitentiary until the matter can be fully resolved with the inauguration of a Republican president." White House press secretary Mike McCurry refused comment on the investigation, and privately White House staffers dismissed the possibility that the new charges could lead to impeachment proceedings. Republican staffers on Capitol Hill, however, insisted that the charges have the potential to breathe new life into both the impeachment drive and the independent counsel's flagging investigation. "We're not talking about some cheesy savings & loan fraud here," one Congressional veteran noted. "These charges go to the heart of our foreign policy. Imagine what this will do to relations with Britain and France." University of Illinois Law Professor Ronald Rotunda, a consultant to Starr's office, said that the legal questions would focus on the appropriateness of the specific varietal grape. In addition, he noted that the report of tannins suggested that "the President has been drinking wine before its time, a statutory offense in California." Rotunda added that the probe is complicated by allegations of a cover-up. "What did the President drink and when did he drink it? And why has the White House resisted disclosure for so long?" Starr's office had no official comment on the reports today. But sources close to the prosecutor confirmed that he had subpoenaed White House wine steward Jacques Clouzeau, ordering him to produce records of wines consumed and corresponding menus. Today's WASHINGTON POST reported that the White House has told the prosecutor's office that some of the menus cannot be found. The missing records apparently relate to wine consumed by the First Lady Hillary Clinton.
