Have you had an interpreter misunderstand you and voiced something out totally different, but had hilarious or tragic results?

Interpreter voiced: "May I kiss somebody?"
Both the interpreter and I did not realise what happened, until I noticed that everyone were laughing so hard and the presenter was replying "No, you can't." So I said "huh?" to interpreter and eventually we both realised and laughed so hard. The interpreter was totally red and embarrassed and told the class that it was her fault she misunderstood me, and what I actually said. It was soooooo hilarious.
