Waiter, a corset, s'il vous plaît!

After a week of touring around France, I was feeling rather smug about my French. After finishing dinner in a friendly little resto near Mt. St. Michel, I confidently asked for the bill; however, instead of saying l'addition, I asked for le combinaision. The waiter and the patron tried to control themselves, but then burst into hysterical laughter. It seems I had ordered an undergarment that we in the USA call a "long-line bra" - essentially a corset.
