“Coming Soon - Freshly Tossed Salads!”

Seen on a sign for a bad restaurant in my town. I know it’s incredibly juvenile, but considering the quality of the food at that place (What kind of Italian restaurant _screws up pasta??_) it’s oddly appropriate. 😃

Seen any unintentional porn? (I apologize to Maxim for stealing their feature.)

There’s a car wash in Lawndale, CA, called “Hand Job Car Wash”…

Okay, maybe it’s just past my bedtime, but what’s the deal with this? Is it supposed to be cumming soon, or some other misspelled word? I hope I’m not just being completely clueless…

Tossing a salad = prison lingo for forcing another prisoner to eat Jell-O out of your ass.

We would both have been happier if you had just walked away.

Tossing Salad- an action involving, but not inclusive to, ass and tongue. I’m drunk, and even typing this is compromising to my dignity. Ididntdoitnoonesawmedoityoucantproveanything.

There’s a shop a couple of suburbs over called “Best Head” - it’s a haircut place.

Sorry Max & Moe, I guess I must have been sheltered growing up or something. I’ve never heard that before. Thanks for… uh… enlightening me.

A sign making business has the following on the bottom of their overhang sign:

I believe there is (or was) some sort of auto part maker called ‘Hooker Headers’. (although it may be intentional porn in this case)

I’m positive it’s intentional, but there’s a small gardening shop off I-10 called The Dirty Hoe.

All time favorite–Mighty Tools, with the motto stamped proudly on the side of the delivery trucks: “It takes a MIGHTY Tool to please a pro!” No shitsky, Sherlock… :rolleyes:

There’s a shop in my city with a sign that says

‘HOUSE OF HUNG JEWELERS’.

I never fail to point it out to visiting friends.

For a long time, a local Wendy’s advertised a new sandwich with the sign “Warm up with a spicy chicken.”

this made me think of another one – a coworker was out with some friends and they came across an Asian man who was washing cars. He was trying to entice people to pull into the parking lot, by holding up a sign that said

“SOAPY HANDJOBS, $6”  
He said that they went over to him to tell him to change his sign and that he didnt speak english very well. I don’t know whether to die laughing or just feel sorry for this guy.

During a trip to Corpus Christy in Texas my family visited a bird retreat called the “Hummer House”. Only my older brother and father thought it funny. Wish they would have brought a T-shirt for me, you know one of those “My family visisted the Hummer House and all I got was a lousy…” 😃

Here in Vancouver, there’s an asian-import company called **Hung Gay Enterprises**. Their name is stamped over half the stuff in my cupboards. They were in the news quite a bit a number of years ago over trouble they had when the gov’t was trying to [prohibit them from distributing “Ginseng Wine”.](http://www.citt.gc.ca/appeals/decision/ap96044e/ap96044e.htm) I’m sure it wouldn’t have gotten as much press if they were called “Acme Imports.” 🙂

heheh. I have seen your name in several threads and I actually just read what it says. I had just skimmed it several times and thought it was some bastardization of “portabello” (don’t ask).

Anyway, should we ever meet at an Atlanta dopefest, remind me to buy you a tall boy. Rumor has it that I have been known to enjoy some Pabst products every now and again.

Back to your unscheduled porn.

I once saw a sign in a rural restaurant in southern MD: \*\* You can beat our prices but you can’t beat our meat.\*\*
