di James Sherman
Ricevuto da Paul. Commedia corta in inglese (playwright) scritta da Sherman nei giorni seguenti la nomina di Hu Jintao a segretario del Partico comunista cinese.
La commedia è una distrazione educativa per chi è impegnato ad imparare l'inglese.L'effetto comico è prodotto dall'equivocità di alcune parole inglesi che hanno più di un significato."Hu" e "who" si pronunciano in modo eguale"Rice" significa "riso" ed è anche il cognome di Condoleezza Rice, consigliere per la sicurezza nazionale del presidente George Bush"Coffee" e ""Kofi" (Annan, presidente delle Nazioni Unite) hanno lo stesso suono vocale"Yes Sir" e "Yassir" (Arafat, Presidente dell'autorità nazionale palestinese) si pronunciano in modo eguale
