Kinda makes me want to tear out my esophagus with barbecue tongs every time I pass a bar in my town called “Whiskey Dick’s”
It’s typical of the fratboy mentality of the town and has led me to want to open up a cat bathing and grooming shop across the street called “The Wet Pussy”
I hate it when restaurants give themselves unappealing names, like Tubby’s, or restaurants that serve a variety of items but use one particular type of food in their names, like Macaroni Grill. Bleh.
I hate to break it to you, but this myth has been debunked. Check Snopes on this story.
I’m feeling too lazy to link to the Snopes article myself.
Snoped.
Snoped again.
Though I just love the ultimate bandnameness which is “Bite the Wax Tadpole”. There seriously needs to be a band. I frequently have lurid visions of what their on-stage gimmick may be. 
The name of the diet candy was always Ayds. I know. I had some in 1970. Ayds.
There’s a local delivery service named Guaranteed Overnight Delivery. Their trucks have a huge “G.O.D.” on them. Some religious people have complained.
Once a year or so I’ll see a semi-truck at a construction site that on the side of the trailer, in large capital letters, reads: DAVIS ERECTION COMPANY.
Always makes me smirk 
Then there’s the Schwing concrete pump trucks. “Our broad line of concrete pumps allows you to grow with Schwing”, tee hee.
cool - thanks for the Snopes references - I am fully debunked! What’s funny is that both of these were taught in my business school as 100% legit…

There was a company in Edinburgh or thereabouts named “Spook Erections”. I think perhaps they are responsible for phantom pregnancies.
About 40 miles south of buffalo lies Ellicottville, a charming little ski town.
One time I was passing through Ellicottville, there was a new tavern along the main drag in the village.
Its name? SKI HEIL.
I’m surprised the BAR-F gas station chain in Las Cruces never comes up in these chains. What’s more amazing is that you have to explain why the name seems wrong to locals, after which they pass it off with a shrug.
Would it have been better, if they had gone with “Two Dollar Whore”? :smack:
Walmart closed their food counter. The sign hung during remodeling says “Blimpies”. I imediately thought of chicken grease on bread. What a great name for a fast food place “Blimpies”.
And other concrete pumper trucks I see are Putzmeisters, which is also amusing.
Cheesecake Factory?
If we’re just talking about restaurant name peeves, mine is something that seems to be far more common in the industrial Great Lakes region than elsewhere; names in a format like
[posessive version of proprietor’s name] [creative name]
The result are names like:
Joe’s Lakeside Inn
Eddie’s Oak Hill Tavern
Dino’s City Line Lounge
Vinnie’s Old Town Grill
Chuck’s Manor House Tap
If I’m meeting someone at the last place mentioned on the list, do I tell them to meet me at “Chuck’s” or “the Manor House”?
On the way to work, I pass by “Lady Luck Casa Lounge II”. WTF?
Shopping last night I saw a container amongst the hand lotions. It was labeled “Crack Cream”. I snerked and almost bought it just because of the name.
While working on the New Georgia Railroad, a friend of mine and I were walking down to the railyard where the steam engine were were going to be taking on an excersion was parked. Next to the tender, there was a crane with a clamshell for loading coal into the tender. On the boom of the crane, in large red letters, was printed “Steel Erection”. My friend giggled and remarked “don’t we wish”. I’ve never been able to look at a crane without giggling since.
I’m not sure if it’s still there, but there used to be a greengrocers shop in Southampton; it was called ‘The Melon Cauli’. It was directly opposite the main gate of a cemetery.
Bleh indeed. Every try to grill macaroni? You won’t try it twice.
A similar chain eatery is Maggiano’s Little Italy. They’re all huge noisy places in shopping malls, not Little at all, except perhaps in comparison to the real Italy.
“Atlantis Overseas Removals” in Aberystwyth at first struck me as funny. But somehow it’s not so very funny when you realise that they are being deliberately sillly. (Yes, I am fussy about my feeble amusements, all right? )
Bars in my area:
Whiskey Dick’s
Dick’s Den
The Rack
Mickey’s (as in roofies)
Car dealers:
Bill Swad Chevrolet
Tom Raper RV
The owners of this Vancouver company don’t even bother trying to maintain a web presence. I have an intuition that PageRank wouldn’t serve them terribly well.
