   "accuracy" of the    
   translation does not just mean that the words themselves are technically   
   correct, but also that you understand the meaning of what was being said. You   
   clearly did not, because you apparently assumed that they were the truth.

   Yes, you are correct... he was making fun and he was using dry Humor but he   
   wasn't making fun of the reporter. He was making fun of YOU.   
      
   Still haven't figured it out have you Eric? They are mocking YOU and you are   
   laughing with them. But it's not my job to keep you from acting the fool. If   
   you haven't gotten their little joke by now, perhaps you are not yet capable   
   of comprehending the    
   punchline.
