One of the better ones I’ve heard of is the construction company Mammoth Erections (just scroll down the page for the address).
Bare and Swett Insurance.
Help me fabricate a sexual reference here, dopers.
There’s a place in Morehead City, NC called the Sanitary Fish Market. It’s a restaurant, so I’ve always been puzzled by the “Market” part of the title. And I’ve always been a bit concerned that they felt the need to emphasize the cleanliness of the place in the name.
The one that really take the cake for me is the “Chinese Tak-ee Out-ee” place I say once - don’t remember where though.
There once was a Thai cook from Phucket
Who soaked his fish heads in a bucket
What about the fish tails?
He threw those in pails
I can’t think of an ending, so f__k it!
Swett and its various subsdiaries have gone through some gyrations through the past several decades and are know known as Swett & Crawford. My ex works with them and jokes that he’s in a Swett shop.
Around town, I see trucks for Smelly Mel’s Plumbing.
“Assmonkey’s Breakfast Pastries, Tire Swallowing, and Titty Massage.”
Not really.
Amigone funeral homes in Buffalo NY.
Amigone?
The Spread Eagle (a pub)
Wan Kink Chinees restaurant … amsterdam

There’s a place near here named “S&M Machinery”.
Do you REALLY wanna see what’s inside?!
I driver by Teter Prosthetics frequently. That makes me laugh.
There’s also a coffee shop in my town called The Wooly Bugger. I know (now) that it’s a fishing lure used in fly fishing, but when it first opened, I thought it was some kind of coffee shop for big, hairy gay men.
Signage on a septic tank pumping truck here in SW Connecticut.
“We’re Number 1 in Number 2”
And another…
“Your business is our business”
Used to be a place here in L.A. called “Hot Buttered Elves”. I swear. Toy prototyping. They’ve gone out of business.
Do you know when they were opened? In the 1920s there was a major “sanitation” fad in the United States. That’s when the term “sanitary napkin” became commonplace, for one thing; there were also sanitary cigars, sanitary milk bottles, and a chain of restaurants known as Sanitary Lunch.
That must be about the time the Sanitary Market Building was added to the Pike Place Market complex here in Seattle. Their big thing was that they wouldn’t allow the shopkeepers to bring their goods in to their stalls with horses. You can imagine how that would make your fruits and veggies more sanitary, especially on hot summer days.
Only a mile or so away is the Rubber Tree. They sell condoms.
The Sing Hing chinese restaurant. Yes I took a photo of the neon sign in the rain.
In Grapevine, TX there is a shopping center with a store (?) called Breaking Wind. I’ve only seen the name on the center’s sign. I need to stop someday and see what it is…
There are a few “FU KING CHINESE RESTAURANTs” in north Florida.
Also a chain called “CHINEE TAKEE OUTEE”
and a “HUNAN WOK” - which if you look quickly reminds one (well this one) of the Donner Party.
I think “PEOPLES GAS” was bought out by another company. Around here, the trucks say “TECO” on one line, then, in smaller print below “Peoples Gas”.
Dentist in town: DR AIKEN
Eye surgeon: DR SCHNIPPER
Not a name, but a lawn care company, here in sunny NE Fla., has on the side of their equipment trailers: “FREE SNOW REMOVAL”
Tin Lung Chinese Restuarant (need iron lung after eating there?)
The Sit & Sip, a nasty dive bar that we all called the Slouch & Slurp instead.
