There's an Ethiopian restaurant along from me that I tried to order a take away from once. I gave up because the bloke behind the counter (who seemed like a nice enough fellow) couldn't understand a word I was saying.

I suppose I'm gonna have to learn how to point in Ethiopian if I ever want to order anything from there in the future. Bizarre.
