Probably a lot more than that, if they're old enough to recall the
following example of schoolyard humor.  This joke was VERY popular
when I was a kid:

Teacher: "Class, can anyone use the word 'Rotterdam' in a sentence?"
Student: "My sister has a bad case of poison ivy, and I wish it
would Rotterdam leg off!"

As I said, a VERY popular joke on the schoolyard when I was a kid
(back when wooly mammoths trod the earth).
