I guess I should dob my wife in...... she was working as a hairdresser in Brisbane (Oz) and a lady with three kids in tow asked to make an appointment for a perm and a trim for her hubby. My wife asked for her name and was told "Mrs Kuntz" - pronounced the same as you know what, and yes, you can guess how my wife wrote it down...
Mrs Kuntz saw what was written and loudly spelled her name for my wife’s' benefit - my wife being extremely embarrassed blurted out "Oh..okay..sorry." Looks at the three kids and says "Will you be bringing the little Kuntz with you?"
The woman complained but my wife’s' employer thought it was dead funny and didn't sack her.
