Okay, there's been some controversy over the picture below. I'll give a more in depth explanation.
You have to understand, we have protocol officers and translators. Really, I didn't have a clue of what was going on. Just as I do in the Oval Office, I pretty much just shut up and follow directions. So here's the story.
I walked in with my protocol guy, and he says "Follow my direction, and we'll get through this okay." So we walk in, and the king says, I think he said "Hoof ta hog toof". The translator says "The king greets you and wishes to express his desire to foster a good relationship between our two great nations."
Then the king says "Halooga". Translator guy added "As long as you know who wears the keffiyeh and who wears the abaya.
I answered "I too, wish to foster a good relations ship between our people, but I don't understand the reference"
The king answered "Hoof ta hog toof". The translator said "We lead 2 great nations. Like a camel and it's rider crossing the great desert, our fates are interlocked."
Then the king said "Halooga".- "but make no mistake, it is I who is driving, and you who is being ridden"
All I could do is offer up "Uh."
The king continued "Hoof ta hog toof"- "Now let us cement the relationship between our great nations-" "Halooga"- "Down on your knees, for you are my bitch"
So there you have- it all seems so much better now, right?
