Reminds me of a bit in one of those old WW2 documentaries. A british soldier was taught a bit of german. One day, he comes up on a german occupied pillbox and orders:

   Raus! Oder ich shiessen  (Come out, or I'll shoot!)

He was mystified by the sounds of laughter coming from the pillbox. Eventually, the germans did come out and surrender, and they told him he'd actually said:
