Joke (language barrier) 
หมี (Me) means “bear”

A: Hello.
B: Hello. What’s your name?
A: หมี (Me)
B: Yes, I mean you
A: หมี (Me)
B: Yeah, can you tell me your name?
A: หมี (Me)
B: Do you understand English?
A: หมี (Me)
B: Forget it

Maybe next time Mr. หมี (Me) have to introduce himself as “polar bear” instead of หมี (Me) “bear” so people wouldn't get confused
