mostly ignorance on my part...
me to a german:
"so, you do celebrate christmas in germany, right?"

In reference to the Jubilee in 2002 (being a "celebration" of the death of the King, not the queens Coronation) I said the queen was "coronated" in 1953.

A kid in my yr9 Biology class asked why blokes get erections and was deadly serious. I think it was because he was a seriously naive christian.

Overheard someone in a pub asking if Scampi Fries really were scampi... someone else was talking loudly to friends about not understanding why everyone who works in an opticians wears glasses or contacts...

My gran saw a P.Y.O. sign (pick-your-own) and said "whats pie-oh strawberries mean?"

there are probably more...
