A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto. The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries. One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, and in desperation, clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. Her butcher got the message, and gave her the chicken legs. Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't know how to say it, and so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts. The butcher understood again, and gave her some chicken breasts. On the 3rd day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store... (Please scroll down) What were you thinking? Hellooooooo, her husband speaks English!

Kinda reminds me of a time we were in Branson and saw Yakov Smirnoff. He came over from Russia and learned English. But, he said some of the things people said were confusing.
He went into a bathroom and saw a sign that read, "Baby Changing Station." He said, "I thought, What? If you don't like your baby you can change it for another one?"
Another one was, he got a job as a bartender. One day a man came in and said, "I quit smoking cold turkey!" I wondered, "What did you smoke before that, ham?"

Yes, true story. He said these were things that he found confusing after he learned the English language. They didn't make any sense.
