In France, a foreign tourist went to a boulangerie (bakery). He pointed at a baguette and said 'big bread' in English. The baker looked at him with a strange face and then started speaking rapid - fire French. The tourist just smiled and took the baguette. He later learned that he should have said 'une baguette'. This is a simple yet funny cross - cultural story.

It was quite a sight and had everyone laughing. Also, there was a golfer who accidentally used his putter to tee off and the ball just rolled a few feet in front of him. He was so embarrassed.

As for a third one, a batter once swung at a pitch and his bat flew out of his hands and landed in the stands, narrowly missing a fan.
