One man's misery, is another man's catch-up (Ketchup) - still on topic, eh?

Okay, here's one, English-to-English!!

In luncheon conversation one day, my Australian colleague happened to mention that he had two cows at home.

Knowing he lived in Sydney I found this very strange, indeed.  I mean, how could you have cows in Sydney?

As the conversation continued the context made it clear that while I was hearing 'cows,' he was actually saying 'CARS' !

Korean Female Teenage student: Hello, my name is Penis(Venus). Followed by a long talk to my co-teacher about the meaning of that word.
Korean Textbook mispelling, How to order at a fast food restaurant. "I want a double cheeseburger and a large cock."
Sample Dialogue in a Taiwanese textbook. "I want two blue balls." This was followed by laughter from my American Educated Taiwanese co-teacher.

Saudi Student: I love caca. (He was referring to the soccer player Kaka.

My personal favorites are these two signs

One is at the cafteria at National United University. "Fired Dumblings." Well, if they were dumb they should be fired.

Two: Duluth, Georgis. Sam's Crap Shack.

Asian usual (mis)communication - Hilarious

Ha ha. This one has come to my mailbox many times. But I always laugh when I read these.

It is a result of word-by-word translation of language.

I think I have this "P" and "F" speech deficiency...

But my 7 y/o boy (who speaks english initially as his native tongue) would often criticize me or point my mistake if ever he hears me say something 'P'amiliar...
