I was just reading a reply to my post yesterday about roaches on a plane and one of them gave a funny name for a law firm. This got me to thinking about all the funny name 'jokes' I've heard over the years. Things like book names such as ....Brown Spots on the Wall by Hu Flung Doo......Race to the Johhny House by Willie Makit, and illistrated by Betty Dont........On the lawyer front, I actually saw a sign in Greenville NC some years back in front of a vacant building that had been a lawyers office. The name displayed on the sigh was Duffus and Associates. Now that's just what everyone needs, a 'duffus' for a lawyer......Guess that's why the building was vacant.... LOL

Those are just a few of the ones I can remember hearing over the years, what about the ones ya'll have heard ???
 
I intended to take a photo of this firm's sign, but you know how hard it is to remember some things. There was a law firm in our town, Biggs and Little, They have since gone their separate ways.
 
there used to be a garbage truck service in our area call "ROTS DISPOSAL SERVICE" that was the owners last name.
 
How about the famous Governor Dummer Academy? They changed the name a few years ago. I think it is some kind of military prep school, if I recall right.

Worked in a drug store through high school and college. Heard the Pharmasist laughing. Had a new OBYN in the area. Dr. Finger. (True story)
 
In Denver, years ago, there was a chiropractor named Armbuster.
I recommend the book, "The Yellow River" by I. P. Phreely.
 
When I entered junior high, we got a new kid from Nantucket, MA. Well, I suppose had it not been for the overhype we've all heard so much about, he would have not gotten nearly as much laughs in Gym class.
 
Saw a sign in a finance company window once that read, "please pay up all your debts because the world is comming to an end and we don't want to look all over he-- for you.
 
How is this ?

Local guy here runs a septic tank pumping business,the truck and tank are painted bright yellow with black lettering "Stool Bus, we take crap from anyone!"
 
A few years back in Buffalo, NY a fast food chain called Mighty Taco ran ads, claiming to be doing their part to solve the Natural gas crisis
 
There is a tire shop in Springfield, MO called Maypop Tires. I assume that is the proprietor's last name.
 
Along the same lines, there is a old time tire shop in Des Moines called Flatt Tire.

Family name and been there since at least the 50's. My great uncle bought tires for the swift packing plant from them.

There's a funeral parlor in Hawaii called the Dodo Mortuary. At least it would be easy to come up with a company motto. . .

Orthodontist in Poulsbo, WA named Dr. Rencher.

I grew up going to Dr. Toothaker. Would have been great if he were a dentist, but actually was a pediatrician.

Since this is an ag board, I should mention the law firm of Seed and Berry.
 
Working as a sales rep many years ago I called at a farming company office and was greeted with the following sign. WE SHOOT EVERY THIRD SALESMAN, THE SECOND ONE HAS JUST LEFT. MJ
 
On a septic tank pumper I have seen a sign, A ROYAL FLUSH BEATS A FULL HOUSE. And on another, WE HAUL MILK ON WEEKENDS.

Bait and tackle shop here in MN ran and ad years ago "our worms are guarantied to catch fish or die trying".......

Local salvage/towing company has painted on the side of their flatbed: "We don"t want an arm and a leg... we just want your tows!"
 
Local tire shop "Hole's Tires" I know the owner and he's a real good guy but that is his last name. Always thought it was funny.
 
I went to a dentist many years ago named Dr. Payne. Later on, I had a boss named Proctor. His brother was a doctor.... Doctor Proctor. No..he wasn't a proctologist, he was a OB GYN.
 
On a PBS radio program "Click and Clack", two brothers give advice on car repairs. At the end, one of the credits given for a law firm was, "Dewey, Cheatum and Howe".

A true one: 50 years ago in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a trash-hauling service's motto was, "Satisfaction guaranteed or double your rubbish back".
 
couple more, there is a town called beecher in illinois, so you have the beecher meat company, and right down the road is the beecher tool and die company. then over in dixon illinois, is the dixon cider company. ( that one will take a few minutes to figure out)
 
Was on the way home one evening this spring and was stopped behind a porta potty truck. The company name is Island Johnny and the saying on the back was Drop a deuce in our blue juice. I laughed so hard that my eyes were watering.

Reading the repiles to this made me think of a slogan I heard the jokingly mentioned the other day by the utility company my Dad is now working for. They do alot of municiple sewage plants and one of the guys Mom's said their slogan should be 'Every time you flush your putting food on our table.'
 
Once while writing a paper for a Business Comm class in college, I created a used car dealership named "Ben Dover Auto Sales". I don't think the prof ever did catch on.

Same prof. Once while writing a fictitious letter to the Governor of Vermont, I named the governor "Adolph Goldberg". I never did get a rise out of that prof.

Then there's "Hole In The Wall" by Mister Completely.
 
Sign on the old saloon.

Liquor up Front
Poker in the Rear


The guy I hire to do my feedlot cleaning/spreading has printed on the door of his truck...

What I like is on the large sign outside of a fast food place, "Now hiring losers" Because the C fell off the sign.
 
(quoted from post at 23:27:02 11/16/11) must have been in the Apollo area I can almost throw rocks at the garage.

Quoting myself ...I just tried to get a pic of the trucks on Google , All this time I never knew it to be a franchise.. thought it to be a family endeavor.
I see they are almost as popular as Waste Management .
 
Radiator shop has a sign out front and advertises on tv that "they are the best place in town to take a leak."
 
Ever read the book "Yellow River" by I. P. Daily ? How about the novel Spots on the Wall by Johnny Overshot ? The best is the accounting firm of : Dewey, Cheetum & Howee.
 
"Miles and miles of little brown piles" by Squat and Leevit

There is a garbage company in Ames Iowa named "Chitty Garbage service"
