Could I have that translated, please?
After repeatedly interrupting Adlai Stevenson, the American Ambassador to the
United Nations, verbally, the perpetrator, very drunk and very short, took off his shoe
and pounded it on the desk in front of him.Stevenson stopped his speech, and asked, of no one in particular, if he could have ShoeDude's rant translated.
Everyone in the room with both shoes on their feet roared their approval.
