Takes some folks a little time to get it

At the entrance to Poole in full view of the cross-channel ferry was (maybe still is) a boat called Les Cornichons du Chien, French for the Dog's B*ll*cks.

On a lighter note I believe Robert Peston's yacht is called "We're Doomed!" and that he likes calling the CG for radio checks!
