Misunderstood
My other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

Dog jerky
And another Korean-related one:
A student I used to teach went to Canada for university for a few years. Once, while in a convenience store, she found a product called "dog jerky" with a picture of a dog on it. She almost bought it, but I guess something told her not to. She was lucky, because "dog jerky" is jerky made for dogs, not made OUT OF dogs.
Disclaimer: not all Koreans eat dog. Not even the majority do anymore. It's extremely rare to find a woman who would eat dog.
