OK, time to wheel this old chestnut out….
Many years ago, working in the bike industry, I was at a product launch for a well known, large bike company. One of their product manager had made the trek over to the UK to talk to the great and good (and me) of the UK bike industry.
He stood up in front of a reasonably well lubricated crowd. There had been beer. He then said, in a lovely American drawl….
“This year, I’m really proud to introduce our new range of fannies”
There was laughter among the UK bike industry. The face of the American was unmoved.
“We’ve got the small fanny, the medium fanny and the large fanny in a new range of colors (sic)”
The laughter was becoming uncontrolled. The face of the American was starting to look concerned that something was amiss with his presentation.
A moment passed. The laughter died down.
“And this year, I’m really stoked to show you all our new, extra large, expandable fanny!”
People fell off their chairs.
