Passenger 'Wifebeater'

I was sitting at the Geneva airport waiting for a delayed flight, when an announcement emerged from the speakers:

"Herr Frauenschläger, Passagier Frauenschläger bitte kommen sie zum Gate 81." The German speaking crowd bursts out in laughter, wondering what a man with the name "wifebeater" looks like. I made a mental note to jot this down in my list of "worst last names ever." As my plane was called for boarding, I saw a couple of people stroll towards Gate 81, as I disappeared in the gangway.
