And father-in-law to you, too!

A colleague had told me how to say hello in Polish before I went to Poland a few years ago. In Polish, the word for hello is ³¦³ú±ðść pronounced "chesh-ch," but I thought my colleague had said ³Ù±ðść ("tesh-ch"). As a result, I ended up introducing myself to people by saying "father-in-law" instead of "hello".
