I remember the first exercising of my schoolboy German when I wanted to order Liver and Chips (Leber und Pommes Frites), but instead said Liebe und Pommes Frites (Love and Chips).
The waitress looked at me, smiled and said in perfect english “The Chips I can bring you now, but the Love must wait until I finish work at 1:00 am”
I hope she wasn’t too upset that I wasn’t there to meet her and I NEVER returned to that Restaurant 😀 😀 😀
A very immature, out of his depth, in the first foreign country ever visited, surrounded by non-english speaking natives, in a new and terrifyingly senior job 30 year old 😀 😀 😀
Haha couldnt stop laughing😀
