An American businessman goes to Japan on a business trip,
but he hates Japanese food, so he asks the concierge at
his hotel if there's any place to get American food. The
concierge tells him he's in luck, there's a pizza place
that just opened, and they deliver. The concierge gives
the businessman the phone number, and he goes back to his
room and orders a pizza.

Thirty minutes later, the delivery guy shows up to the
door with the pizza. The businessman takes the pizza,
and starts sneezing uncontrollably. He asks the
deliveryman, "What the heck did you put on this pizza?"

The deliveryman bows deeply and says, "We put on the pizza what you ordered: 'pepper only'."

It sounds waaaay to familiar! I could keep you in stitches for hours with tales of hilarious misunderstandings. There's even a book in print called "Gems of Japanese English." Probably the most famous boner (true story and pun intended) was a huge banner lofted across the Ginza in 1948 when McArthur (who was extremely popular for his handling of the US occupation of Japan after WWII) was considering running for president. The banner proclaimed: "We play for McArthur's erection!"
