There really were two men and a truck

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I was walking down one of the main streets and I spotted a “Two Men and a Truck”, you know, movers of furniture and the like. I stopped and looked right into the windows and, sure enough, there was a man driving and a man in the passenger seat. They gave me one of those “yeah, yeah, we know” looks.

Here we have a dilemma. Either they would be accused of false advertising or they could be sued for discrimination. Why state the obvious; Two Men and a Truck. It does have a somewhat American charm to it. What have you observed that was either funny or just plain ridiculous?

I don’t understand why that is either funny or ridiculous, or even ironic. It is an accurate description. I hired them to move me into my latest home.

I always smirk when a Guaranteed Overnight Delivery truck goes by, because on the sides, it sports only the company’s initials

I think it´s funny!

I´ll never forget driving by a billboard near Detroit one day that said, in giant bold letters:

I mean… really?

5

Hey, it got your attention, didn’t it?

When 2 men and a truck moved me, there were actually 3 men. They felt it necessary to comment. (Me, I was just glad I didn’t have to worry about the move.)

I find this Nationwide ad amusing. The size of the paint spill and the painted cars have changed several times since it went up. (I work near here.) Here’s another view.

Maybe someone can explain this sign to me. Seen on the storefront of a hair salon:

Lunch Special!
$8.99
Haircuts

Sign at D’Angelo’s Little Italian Place

WELCOME
CABBAGE ROLLS
Do Cabbage Rolls have conventions? :smiley:

Could it be that they have a lunchtime special…a discount rate for haircuts between, say, 11:30 and 1:00?

There’s a furniture rental outfit in Nashville called King Frog.

It’s logo is what you’d expect.

What I love most about Two Men And A Truck is their company’s logo. If I didn’t know any better, I swear it was swiped right out of a Kingdom Of Loathing encounter.

(As a side note, we’ve actually used TMaaT twice now. The first time was fantastic…two guys who did the job with incredible speed and efficiency. The second time they sent two slackers who did such a piss-poor job that I wound up telling them to get out of my house, calling the company, and demanding a good chunk of my money back – which, to their credit, they did)

12

Two Men and a Truck moved me, too. (There were indeed two men and a truck.) They did a fantastic job and we had to really talk them into stopping for lunch.

My favorite company is Big Ass Fans, here’s a picture of the mascot fanny.
Yes, it’s safe for work.

Oddly enough, their website is www .twomen.com

This past week I had our septic tank pumped out. On the back of the truck’s tank under the company name it said:

Satisfaction guaranteed or your merchandise “cheerfully” refunded!

My only question is why cheerfully was in quotes. Shouldn’t it have been “merchandise”?

16

IIRC, their trucks also sport their memorable 800 number:

1-800-DIAL-GOD

17

If they had problems constructing their website would they go to Expertsexchange?

I never wished I had a camera so much as when I saw a priest standing in front of one of those trucks.

Except maybe when I was at a nude beach, and a naked girl was eating potato chips. The bag was between her legs, and the brand name was right over her hoo ha.

Lay’s.

I don’t think I have the name exactly right, so I might need help from some fellow dopers.
I saw a car in my parking lot with an oval sticker on it with the letters ASS in the middle.
When you got close it stood for “Atlanta Surf & Ski” or something like that.

At least it’s honest. The “Starving Students” movers have a disclaimer that it’s just a name, and there is no guarantee that the movers aren’t doing this full time. Until I read the disclaimer I naturally assumed I would be getting a cheap move and helping students. When I got their estimate, neither was the case.
