When I was working in a book store, I once had an entire Indian family come up to my register. The 13 year old girl steps forward and asks, "Do you have <i>My Pussy Don't Do Homework</i>?"
I said, "Posse. You mean Posse. The other means... something else entirely."
About three co-workers heard this, and we're all trying not to bust out laughing at this poor kid.
I did get her the book.
At my office job, three days after a training on Presenting to a large group and two weeks after a training on Grammar, I had to walk out of a meeting where a girl who was in both those classes with me (mandatory classes. Trying to get cheap instruction from me? I think not.) said "sufficiently enough" repeatedly. (She also said "very unique" once.)
Months later I was in the elevator listening to her bitch to her friend about how people don't know how to communicate. I said, "Maybe they haven't been trained sufficiently enough.' She agreed with me, but her friend realized that I had just slammed her, and gave me a grin.
