French joking

A joke in English, that can only be understood in French, and better even in the East of France. I actually came to that because I have colleague whose name is "Kull", just the next step of this joke.

The joke : Evolution of the name of an Alsatian family :

1870 : Lagarde
1871 : Wache
1918 : Vache
1940 : Kuh
1945 : Cul

Even Wikipedia knows about this : here (see the Anecdotes §).
There is also a further alternative evolution (in English) of it turning this into a “joke”: here.

No comment, because the shorter the better.

Ciao

Je pige pas l'anglais, j'aurais du travailler plus à l'école. Ah si j'avais écouter davantage Mme Detlof et M. Muller.
