It's too bad Arnold Schwarzenegger had this little misunderstanding because English isn't his native language.

He told his wife Maria that the babysitter wanted a raise.

Maria said, "Screw her."

Any simple-minded semi-literate Austrian could have made the same mistake, right?

That's pretty hilarious.
