Contenders for Number One

Way too many years ago, I suffered a severe brain fart during a Spanish-language vocabulary test: the word "baño" had evidently escaped me entirely, which is not something to be desired when you have to label the rooms in the house. Desperate for another word for "bathroom," I finally grat my teeth and penciled in "Juan." I need hardly point out that Sister Alfonso Bedoya was not amused.

You'd think that after a debacle of this magnitude, I'd find myself in the business of naming portable-toilet vendors. No such luck. Besides, I'd be hard-pressed to surpass these.
