Shimon Peres winds up telling his favorite joke about his good friend Kofi Annan.

“So Kofi then turns to the driver and says ‘Listen. When you went through the red light, I didn’t say anything. But why on earth are you stopping at a green light?'”

“The Israeli driver looks at Kofi as if he was mad. ‘Are you crazy?! ‘The other guy has a red light! Do you want to get us killed?!'”

“Heh heh heh.”
