One of the few I remember was "Excusez-moi Monsieur, avez-vous un pneu pour un Renault?"
We used to say it in the high pitched voices used on our French tapes.

The only other thing I really remember was that when listening to said tapes in a comprehension exercise, I swear I heard a lady say that she went to work dressed as a yoghurt (the French is yaourt - pronounced pretty much as written - ya-OOORT and as such very distinctive). As we were fooishly allowed to mark eachother's papers, my BFF ticked my response and passed it back to me with a lady dressed as a pot of yoghurt doodled in the margin. I laughed silently until I thought I was going to be sick. Young and fit as I was, my stomach muscles hurt the next day.
