An Indian Army general was sent to Africa to work for UN forces. He loved to give long speeches to the men there, but a local major had to translate everything he said into Swahili. One harrowing day, after he found the men in the mess very exhausted, the general rattled off a long joke from his old days.

The African major promptly began his translation, but by the time he uttered three sentences, the entire audience burst out laughing. The general walked out, satisfied indeed. An Indian major, also there, was greatly impressed. “You translated it so quickly,” he told the African, “I’d like to learn Swahili.”

“No,” replied the African. “These guys would never have understood that Indian joke. Even I didn’t. So all I said was ‘He’s a three-star general. He just told a joke. All of you guys start laughing.’”
