Another old favorite was putting 'sirp' on my flapjacks! My grandmother, southern belle that she was, always had milk and biscuits, instead of milk and cookies.
My favorite episode with pronunciation was when I went to work for a Japanese company. In Japan, you are addressed as "Your last name-san" which is a term of respect. The first day at work, we were meeting all the supervisors, who all spoke Japanese, with a little English, but just barely. When they came to me, I said my name was Logsdon. My supervisor looked at me kind of funny, lowered his gaze, and said very quietly..."You have first name I may use?" I smiled and said yes that would be fine. I said my first name is Kelly. He did the head smack gesture and said very slowly "Kedysan?" I spent the whole time I worked there as "Kedysan". There is no 'L' sound in the Japanese language, nor does g-s-d fall in that order in a word outside of Norway. Every once in a while I run into people I worked with, (Americans) who still greet me as "Kedysan". :-))
