Indian English

Much has been said about the way Indians speak English, specially at the work place. Here are a couple of personal experiences:
At the close of office hours, one day, all set to get back home, i asked a colleague of mine the whereabouts of my chauffer, 'hey, do you know by any chance, where is Mohammed?'. My colleague replied, 'he just passed away'.
Make what you will out of it, but all he meant was that he had just seen Mohammed strolling by.
Another episode went some thing like this....I had been in a discussion with a colleague of mine since the previous day and had requested him to think through the project overnight so that we could restart the discussion the following day. The next day i could see that he was clearly avoiding coming anywhere near where i was. Sensing his discomfort, i called him to check whether he had come prepared for the discussion. 'Did you think about our discussions last night?' I asked. 'Yes sir, i thanked about it the whole night', he replied.
I dont claim to be the master of the english language but nonetheless i found this quite hilarious. Do you have any similar anecdotes?
