Maybe he really loves his work.
I dont get it.

There’s a car wash in my town that prides itself on using no machinery. It’s called The Hand Job.
I was too lazy to check. Thanks for the correction.
In the mid-70’s the steelwork on the addition to my high school was put up by Dependable Erection Service. They took out a half-page ad in that year’s yearbook.
There used to be a bar on the Mount Rose highway in Nevada called “The Institute of Higher Drinking”.
A couple from San Antonio: a bar called No Esta Aqui (I’m Not Here) and Wok-A-Mole. The latter was indeed a Chinese plus Mexican food joint, with a bit of Central Texas German. Not fusion, just a really long and confusing buffet. Oh, and to the disappointment of a friend of mine, they didn’t actually serve mole.
There was a shipping company in my area that everyone referred to as “Ess”. It was such the local fixture that it began to transition to a verb, “I’ll ess that right on over to you.”
One day I was having lunch in the park while immersed in thought about this new challenge we were embarking on. You know how you are thinking hard about something and suddenly become aware of what is in your line of sight?
There was one of their trucks, and I noticed what had gone right past me all those years. The logo was a big letter “S” (probably the founder’s last name) where the top curl was a quarter the size of the bottom curl. And laying in the curve of the bottom curl, the word “cargo”.
Headslap, that was. But, really, pretty good speed for having a name like that.
For many years there was a bar in Cleveland called The Office, supposedly so that white-collar drones could call their wives, beer or scotch in hand, and truthfully say, “Honey, I’m still at The Office.”
There’s a certain appeal in telling people, when they ask what you do, that you give Hand Jobs.
We had a bar with that name in Minneapolis for many years. The owner was a neighbor. I was sad to hear it closed.
I just passed by the Butt hut on I 69 somewhere near the Indiana/Mich border.

If you live near North Andover MA, here’s a contractor worth knowing about:
Damphousse Roofing - a trusted name since 1938
Bangkok has one too. Along with another one called the Old Other Office Bar.
Bangkok also used to have a bar called Moe’s, with a Simpsons theme. No longer there, and I’m sure they were violating all sorts of copyrights. But they had a great motto: “Where Nobody Knows Your Name.”

I have a cousin (the mother of two children) who has partnered with a friend of hers (also a mom) in the business of “flipping” houses. Their business name: “Mother Flippers”.
La Crosse, Wisconsin has a bar called The Library. Same idea, but targeted towards college students.
Speaking of copyrights, I’ve seen vans around here for a business called Super Mario’s Plumbing. Their mascot is a guy in a red shirt, red hat, and blue overalls. I just say one of their vans this morning and it appears they’ve changed their name to Super Brothers Plumbing. I wonder why…
Going through my Dad’s stuff I found a a matchbook cover from this San Francisco jazz club called Club Hangover
at Bush Street above Powell.
