In this topic (ITT) we speak about some words or sentences you said or heard, which were not properly spoken and therefore funny. I'll start with one of my mistakes -
One time I tried to tell my English colleague, that everybody should be treated in the same way at work, when they have the same job to do. Because I spelled it wrong, he heard 'threaten' - which is obviously not what I wanted to say  Moja praca jest bardzo odpowiedzialna, gorzej ze mną...

Well, I was needed a help the other day and I asked one of my english friends if he could give me a head (instead of give me a hand)
 To give a head means... b##job, don't try to make about the same mistake at work  Niniejszy post przedstawia opinie autora w dniu dzisiejszym, na datę jego publikacji. Nie mogą być one wykorzystane przeciwko niemu w dniu jutrzejszym, ani innym następującym po nim dniu :]

Stokesay, I just flooded my keyboard with morning coffee because of your story

Sadly, I don't have anything funny like this to tell, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open, and if anything will happen I'll get back to you. Jak się nie ma co się lubi, to się kradnie co popadnie.

Tlumacz_Ania: english, please
And I thought the correct response is 'I feel bad' or something... Moja praca jest bardzo odpowiedzialna, gorzej ze mną...

OK, Webmaster, sorry. Of course when speaking to one's boss one should try to refrain from using the word "S***" anyway. A more polite way would be to say "I have been unwell"

Hey, but it's funny. Similar situation, my friend is working in construction industry. When he came here, he could barely understand simple words, but he tried very hard to translate everything into proper polish. So, when other worker said 'thank you' to him, he answered 'please' - in other words - 'dziękuję' - 'proszę'
Moja praca jest bardzo odpowiedzialna, gorzej ze mną...
