Actual conversation when actual British Prime Minister actually met President of the United States of America:
“I don’t think I could ever compete with you at basketball,” Brown said. “Perhaps tennis.”
“Tennis? I hear you’ve got a game,” Obama replied mildly.
“Yes, we could maybe have a – have a shot,” the prime minister went on.
“We haven’t tried it yet,” the president said.
“I don’t know,” Brown said. “I think you’d be better, but there we are.”
Obama smiled faintly. Brown spent much of the session with both soles planted on the floor, his palms gripping his thighs.
