An American man goes to Japan to close a big business deal.
The night before, he is very tense so he picks up a woman in the hotel bar. She speaks no English but they get their transaction settled and go to his room.
In bed, she is wildly thrashing around and screaming a phrase in Japanese. The man figures she is loving it and tries to remember what she is saying.
The next day, he is playing golf with a Japanese customer, on the third tee, the Japanese man swings, the ball makes a beautiful arc, hits the green, bounces twice, rolls, and winds up right in the cup – a hole in one!
Thinking to impress his client, he repeats the phrase he heard the night before. The Japanese golfer looks at him and says, “What do you mean… Wrong hole?”
The joke revolves around a cultural and linguistic misunderstanding. The American man, after a night with a Japanese woman, mistakenly believes that her exclamations in bed are expressions of pleasure. Wanting to impress his Japanese client the next day after witnessing a hole-in-one in golf, he repeats the phrase, thinking it’s a celebratory exclamation. However, the client’s response, “What do you mean… Wrong hole?”, reveals the true meaning of the phrase, suggesting that the woman’s exclamations the previous night were not of pleasure, but rather of discomfort or surprise.
