When my daughter began studying Spanish in elementary school (like most, she never actually learned how to say anything), I told her to say to her teacher, "¿Como tu frijole?" She asked me what it meant, and I told her with a straight face that it meant, "how you bean," not explaining the homophonic transliteration. Being a dutiful daughter (at the time), she said it to her Spanish teacher the next day, and when she had to explain to the teacher what it meant (was supposed to mean, of course), the teacher laughed, knowing the sense of humor of the daughter's father.
