Reminds me of that almost perfect French speaking foreign statesman, who made is debut speech in France - in French, a BIG mistake.

"Les heros de la France..." (lei hero de la france) he intended to say but as French language students know, sometimes the "s" of a word is pulled over to the following noun starting on a vowel - and because "h" isn't pronounced in French this does sometimes complicate matters. So, all that said, here is how his speech came out, almost sounds the same - but with a slight twist to the meaning:

"Les zeros de la France..." (leizeros de la france)

Well, he wasn't their hero of that day. Or any other day for that matter.
