Silly things Japanese people have said to you

I'm sure most of us have had our moments where a Japanese person has said something to you that just cracked you up bad. Post them if you remember or they happen to you again.

I met a girl yesterday who called the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" black pepper. I was laughing for about 15 minutes.

Only thing I can think about is the english on some of the shirts.
I've sent shirts back home and they tell me wtf.

Yeah, a Japanese girl once came to a church youth group function wearing a T-shirt that said "Marijuana: The happy smoke!" on the front hehe. She had no idea. The youth group leader made her change her shirt...

I had a woman friend, who is about 35, smokin' hot, and still single. She wore a shirt one day that said "Jump on this!"...I couldn't speak for several minutes because I was cracking up and she was like "what???". When I finally asked her if I could "jump on this" she turned really red and said she didn't realize the message she was conveying. She made me take her home so she could change!

Great story DocP!

I always enjoy watching segments on japanese tv where they are practicing english or are trying to pronounce it. Watching one japanese person trying to teach another english is painfully funny to watch. It would be like learning how to speak japanese from Larry the cable guy.

Sorry, still cracking up about that hehe. We were having a discussion on what kind of music we listen to. She really had no idea whatsoever about music, it seemed. I never understand that. How can someone not know anything about what music they like? lol...

Where to start...

We nicknamed one of our co-worker's husbands "Buster" one night while out drinking, and he thought we had been calling him "bastard" the whole night. He had some not nice things to say, but chilled when we explained it to him.

Well after some time of getting to know my extended family I started talking a little more about mine. Mainly my parents and my brother. My last name(now my wifes also) has always mustered a chuckle from people when my wife says it. ピケット　But what got a lot of supprised looks among the family was my father's first name, Gary. ゲリ　げり(下痢) Yup when you say his name in a japanese accent it sounds just like an actual japanese word. The word for diariah.
