Funniest mistake YOU have made when learning another language?

Anyways, people are going to make mistakes, a few will be funny, a few won't be. I've made a few mistakes in German that have had even my teachers just about rolling on the floor, and my mistakes were actually really funny. But in studying our mistakes we always learn.

I don't think that the real meaning of this thread is to mock anyone. I don't see much in the way of bad intents in these posts.
You also remember those damned mistakes and I remember my biggest as if it was yesterday... I had just learnt the word Dingsbums as meaning thingamajig and during a presentation was proud as punch that I could bring in this word and in the plural to boot. Only the 50 or so listening were either not amused or rolling on the floor. I did not have a clue why till the apero afterwards...
