This amused me..

Working in asia I often come accross language barriers..

One of the funniest I heard recently was when one of my colleagues was explaining to the patient they had a pressure ulcer.. but the patient heard it as "pleasure ulcer"..

I wonder what the aetiology for a pleasure Ulcer is?

How about when the Asian cardiologist (with his accent) was asking his American patient if he had a heart mur mur --------it sounded to the patient like "du yoo hava a hot mama?"
