Ah, I found this to be somewhat funny... so I thought I'd give this to you guys as a contest.
Simple one...
And it's a bit amorphous...
Okay... if you were to ask someone who is fluent in Japanese, knows little to no English, and has a little sense of humor, how would they react to you if you said (in English):
"What is your birthday?"
Free membership to you or to a friend of yours for the first or closest answer.
(EDITED)
Gratz to SaiyanDragoon for figuring it out.
What is your birthday sounds like "Watashi o butte", which is basically saying, "Hit me!"
Anyway, as part of my nightly J-Pop searches with my daughter we came across this YouTube vid which just cracked me up.

They don't celebrate their own birthdays but rather have a family birthday. Remember, they know little to no English. (Stilt it towards no English) | |

They'd probably be thinking 'Baka gaijin' (Stupid foreigner) :P
Though I believe this link may hold the answer (too bad I can't watch it >_<): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnTX3iZVNcI Something about 'Watashi no burrete!' >_> Too bad I don't know what the late word means >_< or how it is really spelt <_< | |

Oooo I know. Is it "Hit me!"? Bingo! "Watashi o butte" sounds like "What is your birthday" So do you want the membership or do you want to give it to someone else? | |

They would probably think it's your birthday and say "Happy Birthday!" to you.
