This is a question Absolute Power

Have you ever been put in a position of power? Did you become a rabid dictator, or did you completely arse it up and end up publicly humiliated? We demand you tell us your stories.

Thanks to The Supreme Crow for the suggestion

Interpretation
I work as an interpreter. The position naturally comes with the absolute power of control over communication. If, like me, you are of a slightly... mischevious disposition, it gets really hard to not tell the Madagascan fisheries minister that his Taiwanese counterpart wishes to express his desire for a duel to the death to settle quota dicussions once and for all. Or something to do with sodomy, etc. I'm sure I could slip it in without anyone noticing. Said the head of the trade delegation to the minister without portfolio. Hoho.

How would you slip it in
without anyone noticing?

One or the other of them will understand you, and I'm sure they'd notice you talking about sodomy.

Madagascan (in French): I would like to discuss problem X
Me (in Chinese): The Madagascan minister would like to penetrate your spouse, it's apparently a Madagascan tradition.
Taiwanese (in Chinese): Absolutely not!
Me (in French): Chinese guy says place problem X into your vaginal cavity, apparently it's a Taiwanese tradition.

&c
