Shit-ippey

My memory has been jogged by the posting of the "All in the fam" story today. Mom (Annette Stroud) was off to college. She tells the story like this:

It was a huge auditorium full of students in her first class for college. The professor was having everyone introduce themselves. When it came to mom, she stood up and said, "Annette Shippey". The professor said, "What is your last name?" She responded, "Shippey". He said, "What is it again?" She responded, "Shippey". He said, "Spell it". As she responded, she realized in the middle of saying it again that he had asked her to spell and so this is what came our of her mouth, "Shit-ippey". I would assume the room went up in a roar because it was the late 50's.

This is one to add to the postings of mom and her cursing.
