At the final dinner of an international conference, an American delegate turned to the Chinese delegate sitting next to him, pointed to the soup and asked somewhat condescendingly, "Likee soupee?"
The Chinese gentlemen nodded eagerly.
A little later, it was "Likee fishee?" and "Likee meatee?" and "Likee fruitee?" and always the response was an affable nod.
At the end of the dinner the chairman of the conference introduced the guest speaker of the evening - none other than the Chinese gentleman.
He delivered a penetrating, witty discourse in impeccable English, much to the astonishment of the American neighbour.
When the speech was over, the speaker turned to his neighbour and with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and asked, "Likee speechee?"

Reminds me of what I was told was a real story. A UK business man was on a trip to China and had to make a speech. He stood up and began '' I want you to know that I am tickled to death to be here'' A look of agony appeared on the interpreters face as he began in halting Chinese '' This poor man scratches himself until he dies just to be with us!''
