I recall a garbage truck in Florida that had a motto promising free snow removal.
I have often thought a great sign on a recycling truck would be, “A rind is a terrible thing to waste.”
From a barbecue joint around here:
“It’s the wood that makes it good!”
In college there was a restaurant that had the following slogan on its sign for a few weeks:
Stay slim, eat trim
Some years back, there was a sign business (making signs for stores, not signaling stuff). It was owned by, I believe, a Korean immigrant, and it mainly did business with the large local Korean community.
The name of the business, displayed on their storefront and their vans, was, unfortunately, “Gook Do Sign.”
The local funeral home in my hometown has a slogan that says:
“We Specialize In Personal Service”
Just what does that mean?
Also a local automotive company where I live advertises:
“We Do Things Differently Here”
Again, 
There is a delivery business called “Guaranteed Overnight Delivery.” Their trucks just have the initials of their name on them: G.O.D..
Yes, some people have complained.
I once saw a tank truck for a septic system cleaning firm with the slogan on the bumper:
“Don’t follow me. I’m full of S@^%!”
There is a septic business around here that has the hilarious slogan:
**We’re #1 in #2 **
I just love that.
There was a radiator repair shop back in Ohio during the 70s with the slogan “A Great Place To Take A Leak”.
That one still makes me chuckle. If you take the slogan literally, it conjures up the image of a couple of guys standing at urinals in a very nice restroom, saying, “Man, this is a great place to take a leak, isn’t it?”
We have a canine excrement removal service around here with a similar slogan: We’re number one in the number two business. Their other slogan is:
We pick up where your dog left off
In my hometown, there was a hot dog stand a few years ago called Dick’s Hot Dogs.
Their sign read, If You Like Hot Dogs, You’ll Love Dick’s
We figured it had to be on purpose.
I hereby swear that, while living near Los Angeles, I saw a billboard for a car dealer famous for negotiating prices that read:
“Bring your wife in and we’ll dicker!”
I can’t prove it, I don’t expect you to believe it, but I will always believe it’s real.
the King of Soup:
Does the line,"Dicker,dicker,dicker,with Tucker,Tucker,Tucker"relate to your billboard?
I’ve seen those trucks. The first time I saw one, my office window faced Route 1. Hey! I just saw GOD heading north on Route One!
There’s a sort of lawn and garden care place around here called the Grass Pad. Their slogan?
"The Grass Pad’s high on grass!"
Their television ads have someone singing it, too. “The Grass Pad’s high on graaaaaaaaaas!”
Right near the main cemetary in Stockton is a business called OK Monuments. Every time I drive past I make up jingles in my head.
“When you don’t care enough to buy the best.”
“Perfect for crotchety relatives who left everything to their cat.”
What were they thinking?
Also there’s a family named Butte that went into the medical oxygen supply business. Catching sight of the van that says BUTTE THERAPY our of the corner of your eye in traffic causes a definite double take.
Again, what were they thinking?
Can’t think of any local ones, but on a trip out west (either Washington or Oregon, I can’t remember exactly where) I saw a restaurant with a sign saying “Steaks so big, it’s a wonder the cows ever walked”.
Cracked me up.

Butte Therapy.
Heee. Sounds like some outcall gay thing.
This is somewhat similar… I took this photo and e-mailed it to a friend who later e-mailed it to another friend and so on. Several months later I got an e-mail from someone I knew a few down the line of e-mailed saying they’d seen it on that site from a link in something awful.
Does anyone remember an ad campaign several years ago intended to boost the Virginia tourism industry?
“Virginia is for lovers”
is no longer a very appropriate business slogan, given the recent legislation against gay marriage.
