Here are a few business names that always made me chuckle (it doesn’t take nuch):
Assman Electronics
Seattle House of Hose
Nicewonger
And seen in Munich:
Wormland
Christ Schmuck
Peter Palmer
“much”.
There are a couple of Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities called La Cucaracha. Apparently, they’re quite good, but I’ve didn’t have the courage to eat there. I don’t like the idea of roaches associated with my food.

I didn’t have the courage. It’s Saturday, and I’m at work.

I posted about this restaurant before. It’s called C.O. Jones, and in Spanish cojones means ‘testicles.’ But they knew that (have a look at their slogan)
In Albuquerque NM, there is a Chinese place called “Myung Dong”. Just can’t bring myself to try it.
Wong Kee (Chinese restaurant in London)
Fanny Club (regular bar in France, even funnier given the UK meaning of ‘fanny’)
In Torrance, CA, a few blocks from where I used to live, there was a restaurant called “Leave Me Alone.” I can only imagine how weird it must have been for the person taking reservations: “Hello, Leave Me Alone?”
There is a telecom called TouchAmerica. I usually get a giggle out of that one.
In and Out Burger
It made me think of a place to get a quick snack between quickies.
Mockingbird: I have an even better story. We have an In and Out Adult Video store!
There’s also “Satan’s TV & Satellite” (though its probably pronounced sa-TANS).
Personally, I’d rather the burger stay in after I eat it… Oh, wait a minute. Somebody else posted that.
Their bumper stickers used to be white letters on a black background. People would cut off the “B” and the “r” to spell:
In-N-Out
Urge
The owners of In-N-Out Burger are Christian enough to put bible references on their drink cups, so I’ve always assumed that they had the bumper sticker design changed so that people would not use it for such a “scadalous” message.
In Louisiana there’s a contracting firm called “Erection Services”
viagra has probably done them in.
In Jerusalem, there used to be a little restaurant with a bright blue sign which proclaimed: “Abu Assad’s Danish Tea House – Oriental Food – Stereo Music.”
I loved that sign.
I don’t know how wide spread he is, he’s all over Orlando but this guy is named “Truly Nolan” and he owns a pesticide and pest service self titled, “Truly Nolan” - they drive little yellow cars or trucks around and they used to have antennae or ears on top of them.
My friend wanted to start “Sod Off” which would be a lawn care company.
In Joshua Tree, CA, there is a computer store called “Hard and Floppy”
Also, I came across a billboard driving through North Carolina last summer for “Barefoot’s Septic Tank Service” Still chuckle about that one.
Somewhere in south Louisiana (Lafayette, maybe?) there’s a restaurant called Bayou Jeaux (“Joe’s” in Cajun/French). Not all that funny out loud, but the sign always gets a giggle out of me. Or maybe I’m just far too easily amused.
I posted about this before, too… but there’s a restaurant near my apartment called the Insomnia Karaoke Restaurant.
Then again, there’s this local Vietnamese Pho place called Pho Bich Nga. You can imagine how my friend Nathan amuses himself by calling it a slightly different name…

There was a family (Street family) owned drugstore in my small hometown called “Street Drugs” Sadly, it closed down several years ago.
There’s a hair salon in Mauston, Wisconsin called Just One Hair.
