not the Tuxedo Princess in Glasgow?
Anyway, I'm going to rattle out the same story I've used a couple of times to cheer people up, so I apologise if you've already heard it.
10 years ago, I spent a very happy year in Hannover in Germany. One night, I ended up at a party, chatting up and being chatted up by a very handsome young man. Somehow we got talking (in German) about my brother and how gullible he is. I said to the HYM "In English we would say that he takes everything in like a dry sponge." HYM looked at me with the oddest look of confused astonishment. I tried to paraphrase. "You know, a sponge. When it's dry, it sucks water into it." HYM's eyes widened, and I sensed conversations in the room pausing and all ears turning to me. Realising that something was wrong, I made a final attempt to make HYM understand what I was meaning. "You know, you wash yourself in the shower with a sponge." At this point, HYM leaned in and whispered "Do you mean Schwamm?" Turms out I was saying "Schwanz." Which means penis.
Needless to say, I never saw HYM again, but I often wonder if there is now a handsome middle-aged man in Germany whose ice-breaker at parties is the story of the strange Scottish girl who washes herself in the shower with a penis...
