Nope, not quite correct. The DAT part is correct, but the “sun” part actually meant sun, not son! And the sun part is pronunced more like “san” than “son” so there should have been no way to mix it up with the word for loss.
OOPS!!! I TAKE IT BACK - I DIDN’T READ YOUR POST CAREFULLY ENOUGH.
You are correct, sir…
I’m an idiot. :smack:
Growing up, about a mile from my house there was a dentist whose name was Edward Z. Filler. His sign of course said E.Z. Filler.
(damnit, the hamsters ate my post!)
COIT, the cleaning service, will forever make me giggle and wince at the same time.
Someone should have thought about the fact that it’s damned close to the word “coitus”. So close, in fact, that it is the french word for coitus.
Brings a whole new meaning to “Yeah, we’ll take care of your shag, ma’am.”
There’s a company in my building called Burns Bridge Australia. WTF were they thinking?
There’s a gyno office next to my beauty therapists office in Milton, Brisbane. The doctors name? Dr Butcher. And to make matters worse, the other doctor working there…her name Dr. M. Pale. The sign reads:
Dr I Butcher
&
Dr M Pale
:eek:
I should mention, that happens to be their business name. You can find them in the Yello Pages listed under that.
:eek: I have to have a picture of that! Please, anybody?
In north Seattle there’s a dentist named Anita Fok who has a private practice (so it counts as a business!)
My friend found a group of doctors in Hong Kong named “Dr. Jones, Fok & Associates”. Except they couldn’t fit all of that on the sign, so it just read “Dr. Jones Fok & Ass.”
It’s crude, but it slays me.
Here in Vancouver, we have a Gore Barber. I always suspected he’s a bit twitchy.
We also have B.C. Reefer…
And in the gay-friendly West End, a Fresca’s Pizza. Hottest pie in town.
Personal favourite: Barren Investments. Dudes… pick another name.
There used to be (still is?) a company on the San Francisco peninsula with a sign, “Rapid Mounting and Finishing”.
And then someone told me that a block away is the “Screw and Bolt Co”.
Huh huh huh.
She said “peninsula.”
Huh huh huh.
Not as clever as the others but near my house is a Tanning Salon
that goes by the name “TAN-FASIA”
Also, somewhere in the DC area there was a Podiatrist named Dr. Korn.
Nice to see my current municipality of residence making it into threadspotting.
Anyway, back where I grew up (Sister Bay, WI) one of the companies that pumped out holding tanks was called “Royal Flush Sanitation.”
Their slogan?
“A Royal Flush beats a full house.”
Wow, that’s the first time one of my threads ever made Threadspotting. I feel so honoured.
First of all, I’d like to thank the Academy, and all the lovely people who worked with me on this thread. picunurse, I couldn’t have done it without you. Atherist Princess, take a bow please. Also, I’d like to thank my great-aunt, my third cousin twice removed, my … WHACK
What?
…there’s always the Amigone chain of funeral homes in western New York. Good for a laugh.
Whiskey Dick’s? They had a bar called that in the Strip District in Pittsburgh. Their motto was ‘At least the drinks are stiff.’
Next time I go out that way, I will take along le digital camera.
Also, there is a place in Oakland, Pittsburgh called ‘Joe Mama’s’.
It’s an Italian restaurant.
This reminds me of G.R. Eedy, Attorney at Law.
Used to be a company here in Houston called “The Ultimate Erection”.
Their main business was installing flagpoles.
On the highway not so long ago, we passed a pickup truck for a taxidermist:
Wet and Wild Taxidermy: We mount anything.
How awesome is that?
