Wrong on so many counts!
My ex-girlfriend was working in a sandwich shop at the time, and this clanger came from her *ahem* manager.

'Twas near the 14th of February, and the manager told my girlfriend "This week's Valentine special is going to be a ciabatta sandwich, Vienesse finger and hot chocolate", to which my girlfriend looked confused and asked why. The reply?

"It's all Italian, isn't it! And Italian is the language of love."

Nice going. Offending the Austrians, Italians and French in one go.


Another one which was all wrong, the same girl's mother was seen in town pushing a small child she was looking after in a pushchair. A woman looked at the baby, then at the minder - and commented that "Your mother would have been so proud!"

*Not* her daughter, and her mother was still very much alive.
