I recently got a quote for building insulation from a company called

"Broken Drum."

Their catch-phrase was: "We're hard to beat."

And I also had a quote from a local moving company:

"Performance Moving Systems." They had their people in Purple shirts with "PMS" emblazoned on the pocket and in big letters across the back.

THere is a beauty shop here called "Curl up and Dye"

I knew a lady named Terry, she married a butcher named Yockey, so she became Terry Yockey.

I have a friend who recently got married to a lady named Patty.

Her married name is now Patty Patty!

On a Country General Store-

"Steed's Feed and Seed", Formerly Chuck's.

OK, is was on the Simpsons, but it cracked me up.

There are a lot of these cute business signs on the Simpsons, if you watch for them. Some are very clever.

Someone in my area already has it, but they call it
"Paddy O'Furniture". They even have a little green Leprechaun (however you spell it) in their ad.

We have "Kurl up and Dye" here too and not very far down the street is "BJ's Bump and Dent Salon"... the neighborhood auto body shop.

Why would I expect harrassment charges from a disgruntled femail employee to happen eventually?

There was one in Deadwood S.D a few years ago...

Kaput Funeral Parlor.

Saw a truck carrying porta-jons on I-35 in Waco, don't remember the name of the company but the catch phrase was "We're No. 1 in No. 2"

OK, was driving thru Waco again this week, saw a truck from the same company, but it was the type that services the porta jons, not just hauls them around and on the back was a sticker that said "We haul milk on the weekends"

Our local garbage trucks have things like-

"36,000 Pounds of VERY Gross Weight"
in place of the "G.W. 36,000 lbs" notation on the truck weight.
