Snopes says “PowerGenitalia” is false, insofar as it refers to PowerGen’s Italian subsidiary. But it is a real website for a different (Italian) company:
The same Snopes page also says:
I saw a truck that said “Big Dick’s Cleaning Service”.
That was probably intentional.
When I lived in San Francisco, there used to be a bar in the Castro called “The White Swallow.”
Somehow I don’t think they were talking about our little feathered friends.
:dubious:
Back when I lived way the hell out in Rosemead, CA., there was a Vietnamese restarurant there named My Dung. Yummy.
I’m not sure why, but I’ve always found the name Afros of Hollywood to be mighty amusing.
In Anchorage there’s a neighborhood restaurant with a sign proclaiming “Pizza and Chinese Food” It’s called The Tea Garden, but we’ve always called it Chinese Pizza.
Also there used to be a small computer store called Cunning Stunts Computers (think Spoonerism.) As far as I know, it was owned by a guy.
All local businesses within a couple of miles of here:
Al’s Fun in the Bun (hot dog place)
Dong Ky (Vietnamese restaurant)
In and Out Movers (I actually hired these guys, and they were pretty good…although I was a bit bummed at not ending up with the three hunky Israelis promised by the friends who reocmmended them)
And then, of course, the Manhole (gay bar; what else could it possibly be?)…although I’m within walking distance of another gay bar called Different Strokes.
Local Indian curry house place called “Two Fat Indians”, and yes, yes and yes to the 3 most obvious questions.
Another curry place is called something like “The Great London Curryhouse”
Mine pale in comparison to the ones posted, but “The Boutique Shop” did get my attention. If I ever want to buy a boutique, I guess I will shop there.
The restaurant in my hometown is “Toot and Tell It.” (It began in the 1950’s with carhops, thus the name.)
I don’t think I will get over “Spruce Springclean” for a while…
We have a automotive customer in Sydney called “Richard Hole Lubricants”, presumably owned by a Mr Richard Hole.
Not so much Engrish as a cultural disconnect:
Some establishments around Tokyo
Vulgar Cafe (actually quite good food)
Uncle Tom’s (a jazz bar)
Jurassic Parts
they sell old BMW autoparts.
**Molesta Florist ** in Holland, MI.
Then there is the insurance agent (something) Koorndyk that is very humorous.
There’s a shop selling floor coverings in Dublin called Lino Ritchie.
There is a (cough cough) massage parlor here called **Bangkok Express **. Why not call it **Minute Man Massages **?
Got a few.
There’s a hairdresser’s shop in Paris called “Hair France”.
In Zimbabwe, I once saw a truck owned by a trash pickup service called “Waste Away”, and a take-away chicken place that made deliveries called “Poultry In Motion”.
Finally, I may have mentioned this somewhere else, but there used to be a bottle shop in Evanston, Wyoming called “Beaver Liquors”. One could buy gimme hats with the name on it, which I’m sure made one a hit with the ladies.
Once upon a time a local construction company called itself Big Men With Big Decks.
Hang Lung Plastics. I feel slightly queasy every time I drive past.
DV8 was (is?) also a nightclub in San Francisco.
There is a middle eastern art/gift shop called The Blue Hand and a family pizza place called The Flying Pig. Both amuse me.
I work at Booz Allen Hamilton…amusing when people misspell it “Booze”:smack:
I remember seeing this place – from the outside!
I once saw a strip club named, appropriately, **The Bucking Beaver **.
Heh
