Lest we forget!
there is always Licking County, Ohio.
my wife almost wet herself when we passed the sign the first time.
There’s nothing there now, but I have registered the domain satanswers dot com for the test prep guide I might someday write.
Better not take her to French Lick, Indiana!
There’s a Butcher Funeral Home in a small town near where my parents live – it’s obviously a family name, but… really, why?!
Someone put a picture on Failblog. Ah, so funny.
When I was in college, my friends loved to talk about a Vietnamese place called “Pho King Vietnamese Noodle”
It’s friggen hillarious if you know how to pronounce “Pho” in Vietnamese.
Similarly, Phò Bích Nga used to be good for a laugh. (Long gone now, alas.)
A long time ago, I was driving through eastern Ohio when I heard a commercial for a company that sold farm implements called the Kiester Implement Company. This thread inspired me to look online, and I found it! Kiester Implement, Inc
Hmm… now I’m craving Pho. I’ll have to get some after I get paid.
Isn’t there a company in England that used to be called Schindler’s Lifts? There is a website called www.schindlerlifts.co.uk that goes to Schindler UK
They do not appear to be in business anymore, alas, but I can personally attest that a company once existed in Beecher, Illinois called Beecher Tool & Die.
I have also heard people speak of Beecher Meat & Liquor, but I make no claims to the veracity of that one.
Ooh, that reminds me. On the way to help pick up my uncle’s new boat a couple of years ago, my dad and brother drove past Beaver Liquors.
Marconi Communications used to be GEC Plessey Telecommunications and was widely known as GPT. Unfortunately, in France saying GPT comes out as “I farted”.
Along those lines, I did tech support for someone at this mail domain once:
Apologies for zombifying, but this one’s just too good to pass up.
From Lübeck, Germany, I give you Asspick Insurance Brokers Ltd.
They and Kiester Implement have to do some business.
The law firm of Morrison Foerster.
Their moto:
Imagination
Innovation
Expertise
Commitment
This is MoFo
:eek:
As a teen, when we went over the border to Austria, the signs for Zipferbeer always led to giggles. (In German, Zipfel = slang for penis).
Just a shame it isn’t on exit 420.
Down home we always giggled at Worms Monument Works, and my kids get a kick out of the venerable Hooker Windows company.
I used to drive by the Sue Mee Restaurant but I never ate there.
Internet evidence suggests there actually was a Beecher Meats once but the website with Beecher Meat & Liquor and Beecher Tool & Die is a joke site
Some comedian recently noted that we shouldn’t surprised that banks are hitting us with big fees when they have names like Chase and Wachovia.
I suppose that’s why Dime Bank is no longer around.
