The two summers I spent in the Cherokee, NC area, we used to regularly pass a sign for the Hemlock Nursing Home. I guess that’s one way of dealing with those pesky old folks.
This is probably on purpose, but still in very poor taste IMHO. There’s a Chinese restaurant in town called “Chine Toque.” Toque=chef’s hat. Ok, right? Wrong – “chinetoque” is an offensive racial slur for an Asian person, basically the equivalent of “chink.”
On a lighter note, I have no explanation whatsoever for this.
There is a dental surgeon who’s company is called "Wotamaniuk Dental " He does fine work… I chose him as anyone who’s ad sound like “What a Maniac Dental” must be extra carefull

If the business name is spelled Pirhana, you have nothing to worry about.
Not so hole-in-the-wall; there’s one in Tucson too, so I’d wager it’s a state chain.
Yes, but they’re also the ones that snuck past the wall and into the city against all odds, using trickery and a bunch of wood.
Here in Edmonton we also have Chin kee Chinese food… I went in once, said “Nie Ho Ma” to which the pimply faced (caucasian) waiter replied “Whaaaaaa?”
Obviously from hong kong…

Many years ago, after the birth of my last kid, it was time for hubby to find a urologist for his vasectomy. My OB gave us a list of several recomendations including one for a Dr. Richard Chop. I thought it was terribly funny. Hubby was not amused.
Roche Brothers Supermarket. And there’s a local produce wholesaler that emblazons its company slogan on the side of its trucks: “We sell integrity.” I always think, “Yeah? How much you want for yours?”
Not only did they lose the war, but – would you buy a condom named after a giant artificial device that penetrates the wall by subterfuge and then breaks out, spewing out tons of little guys that rape the women and burn the city?
Be that as it may, Hamish has had occasion to visit a dermatologist named Dr. Gratton. (grattons = “let’s scratch”.) He also reminds me of the plumbing and generator company called Onan/Cummins.
I’ve received mail from Hitt Contractors. They’re a “construction firm,” no idea if that’s a Mafia front or not.

Several years ago north of Boston I saw a truck that said “J.T. Damphousse Roofing and Siding.”
There is a supermarket in Monterey Park, California, a very Chinese area, which is called Shun Fat market.
There is an electrical consulting firm in St Louis by the name of Stahl & Ponder.
Once in a while I pass a home heating oil place called Just Oil and More. The name irritates me. What exactly do they mean by “just”? Fair? Is it a surname? Are they just dumb?
Not a business but a state park that I used to drive by on a regular basis Bong Recreation Park
I had some friends (and countless others no doubt) get arrested there recreating their bongs.
In Ames, IA, the local trash hauler is Chitty Garbage Service.
How about some Hebrew businesses?
There a glazier here whose name is Shaviro, and his business is called after him. Shavir in Hebrew is fragile.
There’s a VD doctor called Dr. Pinkoos. In Hebrew Pin = Penis, and Koos=Cunt.
Well, there’s one courier service that operates in Tokyo that obviously decided to combine the words Rapid and Speed to make their name: RAPEED. I walk around with my camera now hoping to catch one of them.
There was also a jazz bar in my old neighborhood that picked the unfortunate name of Uncle Tom.
There was a pie store in the Brisbane CBD called “Buy A Pie or We’ll Both Starve”. It went out of business.
