Dry martini for three

I was having drinks in a Berlin bar with a few friends. My German is not what you might call perfect, so I had a muddled conversation with the bartender. In the end, I managed to order a martini. As the bartender walked away I called out 'dry' because I wanted more gin and less vermouth. He gave me a strange look but went back to work. When I glanced up a few moments later, he was coming with two martinis in hand and another was sitting behind him ready to be brought over. After a little confusion I realized he had made me drei, three, drinks, just as I had asked.

On holiday in Austria, my friend's father once ordered dry martini. Imagine his suprise when three drinks arrived.
