> [@Spoons](#): > > A local lawyer is named Ronald McDonald. > > He’s no clown–he’s actually a very well respected legal practitioner–and nobody, including the local judges, minds if he prefers to be called “Ron,” inside or outside of the courtroom, for obvious reasons. Mr. McDonald is old and close to retirement, and I think it’s safe to say that he received his name long before the fast food chain invented its clown. An old issue of _National Lampoon_ had, on its _True Facts_ page, a picture of _Ronald McDonald Funeral Home_. I’m pretty sure it mad it into one of the books collecting these things. In fact, there are other pictures of it: [http://www.funnysigns.net/ronald-mcdonald-funeral-home/](http://www.funnysigns.net/ronald-mcdonald-funeral-home/) > **[Ronald McDonald Funeral Home](https://www.someecards.com/sympathy-cards/signspotting-funny-signs-ronald-mcdonald-funeral-home/)** > > Free and Funny Sympathy Ecard: Ronald McDonald Funeral Home Create and send your own custom Sympathy ecard. > **[The 20 Worst Funeral Home Names Ever](https://worldwideinterweb.com/worst-funeral-home-names-ever/)** > > Trust us, you wouldn't want you or any of your loved ones to be caught dead at any of these funeral homes.                                    ...

There’s a Chinese restaurant in San Luis Obispo, CA called “Mee Heng Low.” It was there when I was in college in the '80s, and a quick Google search shows me it’s still there now. They were pretty good, at least back then. ---

Near the Pittsburgh Zoo there used to be an ice cream place called Ice Cream Station Zebra. Perhaps they renamed it because the [movie/novel it references](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Station_Zebra) had become too obscure. ---
