This reminds of an unrelated anecdote from about 40 years ago. I had occasion to send a fax to an Indian colleague (in India - I was in London). I asked a new secretary to send it to Mr Anil Gupta and gave her the number. Somehow she managed to render that into Anal Tiptoe. She took my message, put it into an envelope, wrote "For the attention of Mr. Anal Tiptoe" on the envelope and faxed the envelope! Fortunately Mr. Gupta had a good sense of humour. The secretary didn't last the week!
