Another example I remember, regarding the "No way to 'misunderstand' a sentence in French". My wife and I spent a vacation in Paris in few years ago. I remember one day as we were sitting down to eat in a restaurant a waiter came by, said something in perfect french and walked back to the kitchen. I could interpret what he said as: 1. there will be a fire drill in a minute 2. sorry but we are out of red wine 3. we don't like when americans come and eat our food 4. welcome to the restaurant; we love it when americans come and eat in our restaurant.
Speaking about misunderstanding French.
