During the Nazi occupation of Poland a man came to the registrar's office wanting to change his name because people made fun of it. "What is your name?" the clerk asked.

"Adolf Srajda," the man replied.
"Well, what would you like to change it to?"
"Stanisław Srajda," came the man's reply.

now it should be understandable:
During the Nazi occupation of Poland a man came to the registrar's office wanting to change his name because people made fun of it.

What is your name?" the clerk asked.
"Adolf Shitalot," the man replied.
"Well, what would you like to change it to?"
"Stanisław Shitalot," came the man's reply.
