On the last boat I bought (o hai, golfistas), I found hidden in various places a selection of whips, cuffs and various other accoutrements whose use was a mystery to me. I think it's nice that the boat had a previous existence as a floating BDSM dungeon, but found it odd that the previous owner took all their stuff except the sex toys.

The owner of a company who procures my services had a baby a few days ago.
I suggested to the respective teams that we "have a whip for a gift".
I was a little confused by the cagey response.
Today I learned that they thought I was talking about literally buying the happy couple a whip and that it triggered two days of trying to figure out why I thought she is kinky and why the birth of a baby would warrant that gift.
Never assume your customers or business partners have the same cultural references as you.
