Seduction at the cinema 6a1h3f

I was participating in an internship in Hamburg, when I attended the preview showing of a yet to be released film. After the film had ended, I went to look for a listing of the films to be shown later in the week.I went up to a young guy and asked him: Wissen Sie, wo man weitere Verführungen finden kann? He looked at me and laughed, and then asked for my phone number. Oops! By mistake I had used the word Verführung, seduction, instead of Vorführung, show. I've asked him: 'Do you know where I can find further seductions?'

I once asked my sister-in-law, in front of my wife, if she was feeling warm in her living room in Munich: Bist du heiß? I was not aware that I've asked her if she was feeling sexy!

That is very funny. I had a similar incident when a German friend of mine asked about Orgasmen, orgasms, in a fossil museum instead of Organismen, organisms.
