I went to the NZ Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions.

I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a 
form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and 
then asked me what I had invented.

I said, "A folding bottle."

She said, "Okay, what do you call it?"

"A Fottle."

"What else do you have?"

"I have also invented a folding carton."

Again she said "What do you call it?"

"A Farton."

She sniggered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one 
of them sounds kind of crude."

I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the 
office without even telling her about my folding bucket.
