During the 1960's all sorts of linguistic jokes were being played by companies making inroads in Europe (and still are). Rolls Royce had some difficulty selling their Silver Mist limo in Germany and Austria where people declined the privilage of driving a Silver Shit ! no matter how refined. When we were in Semmering Austria, we came across some lavatory paper called KOZY KRAPP and wish we'd saved some. (Paper that is). Last summer whilst returning from Italy my children used half a roll of film in the southern German town of WANK.
Oh well.
