Last night, my wife and I were walking in Itaeweon and saw sign which had “Underground Internet Cable” on it. We both said it sounds like something dicey in a police show such as _Blue Bloods_ or _FBI_.

What other perfectly innocent things can you think of that sound criminal or, at least, somewhat shady or dicey?

Ultimate Solutions Ltd appear to be a printing company in the UK, and definitely not a front for a discreet high-end assassination bureau.
