Classic sketch on word play and English homophones. Even has it's own wikipage. Confusing and amusing if not out-and-out weird.

That's strange. I was sure the sketch was called "four candles".

My wife and daugher caught me on one today. We were taking about a photographer friend of my daughter
who had just done a photoshoot of my grandson. I asked, "who else has she shotten"? They thought it was
funny. For an instant, I was surprised that i'd used an heretofore unheard-of conjugation.

So, in answer to the original question, "when does your native language sound funny"? When I speak it.
