Ok,

This one tops them all:  yesterday I got to talk to one man from Russia in 
Jewel (grocery store), and he didn't speak or read English at all (he came 
here about 3 years ago!).  I do speak English, Russian, and few other 
languages.  Well, he told me that the food here is really cheap, and he 
loves the can tuna, and it's only $0.19 cents per can.  I then asked him to 
show me which ones he buys.  He then took me straight to the pet area, and 
walked straight to the can food for cats.  Apparently he was purchasing and 
eating them for about 3 years now.  I then felt really sorry for him, and 
explained what kind of "tuna" it was.  It was really hard keeping my face 
straight.  As soon as I got into my car, I was laughing so hard, that I had 
tears out of my eyes.
