Making jokes about your bad english!

I have a student (with excellent english) who is going to give a presentation in english (to people from around the EU, not native speakers).

She would like to make a joke about her english not being perfect, just to be funny and to help people relax.

Any ideas?!

Thanks

She might like to prepare her speech using ideas from these links:

1. Same word, different pronuciation depending on context: http://www.floridatechnet.org/institute/languagehard.pdf

2. Signs from around the world literally translated into English with funny results: http://www.jokes-news.com/2006/12/17/bad-english/

Both of these have repeatedly done the rounds via e-mail but they don �t date.
