Mixing up verbs

While I was in Turkia last week I made a rather comical error with my verbs in a bar.......

We walked in, sat down and I ordered drinks - unfortunately I mixed up paylaþmak and pislenmek !!!

 

I said:

"bir bardak taze portakal suyu ve bir þiþe bira ve iki bardak lütfen çünkü biz pislenmek istiyoruz"

 

This has caused much amusement on several occasions so I thought it only right to share it here!

 I´m not sure how I managed to get them mixed up - but I had only looked up paylaþmak earlier that day as I thought I might need it while eating or drinking.
