Actually the funniest thing that happened to me like that is hard to describe without speaking it.
I played as a single once with two guys from Sweden who spoke perfect English.
In deference to me they spoke English (even between each other).
On the 12 hole (I still remember it was a 135-yard par 3) one of them sticks it about a foot and a half from the hole.
He then hits his putt for what should have been an easy birdie and lips it around and out.
He starts cursing in Swedish and it sounded like GEE-FLUDEN-DEE-BLUDEN-SNEEBEN-FLEEBEN!!!
It caught me by surprise so badly that I'm serious, I nearly fell over laughing.
He looks at me like "What the fuck are you laughing at?"
I had to cough out "No ... no ... I never heard anyone curse in Swedish before" ... and he and the other guy started laughing.
We had a beer after the round so it was all good ... we even talked about that hole and laughed again.
