Offensive signature

In my first job in Canada, as a sales associate at a supermarket, I was assigned a list of duties written on a piece of paper by my supervisor. Once I was done with all the items on that list, I was supposed to sign it. Without thinking, as very tired after a long day of hard work carrying heavy boxes, I signed: 'Ass: Francoise' (my signature). The next day my boss seemed offended ... In Brazil, before signing, we usually abbreviate the word assinatura, signature into ass.
