The Fottle

I went to the Patent office 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.
