Just thought of the Teledyne Waterpik brand. What did they ever do with that in Denmark? According to this FB post:

Waterpik uses another name in Denmark. "Pik" is the common Danish word for male genitals. Most Danes can easily translate "water" to the danish word "vand". And "vandpik" is a term for the morning erection. "And you put that thing in your mouth?!?!"

But I'll look forward to hearing about people sending a dick pic in pik format. ^_^
Despite the fact that Dutch people are often fluent in English, and despite the fact that we even had a prime-minister with the name 'Kok', there's a surprisingly low number of jokes, in my opinion, involving this particular surname. I guess somehow the context switch from Dutch to English is big enough that it's just not all that funny.
