And even if they were...no...whats so funny with that? In that case I think it is more amusing to see the French president meet the German president, and everyone knows that French protocol is to kiss eachother on the cheek (for some unknown reason) and everyone else hates this because there is nothing in the world that I can come up with right now (short of stripping) that would make any guy feel more uncomfortable than kissing another guy on the cheek. I mean, are you supposed to give it a slop with the lips or just a peck, and what cheek do you kiss first? Left or right? And what happens if both guys go for the left cheek at the same time and end up inadvertingly kissing eachother on the mouth. Now multiply this problem with 50 tv cameras, 500 other cameras, and thousands of spectators and journalists, and you might be approaching something funny.
