I'll one up that. In a mall near me, there's a "K & K Kollectibles" (which i've filed a complaint about) Not only is the acronym "KKK", but the three letters are right next to each other on the sign. http://www.kididdles.com/mouseum/k008.html |

I pass a really tiny carryout every morning on the way to work. It has two signs. One has the name of the carryout, the other reads "Sub Chicken Fish". Is it three different items, or some bizzare lesser fish/chicken hybrid? Maybe they sell fish and really low grade chicken.  sub chicken fish? The riddle of what one could be is oddly appealing... Not that I'd want one running lose in my house or anything... _____________________

I find it funny when churches try to be witty with their signage in front of their church. My 2 faves are:

A place called "Concrete Vibrators" in Denver A friend of mine from Denver told us about that place! She tried to score a shirt for my husband but couldn't get one.She did bring him a shirt from Colorodo Semen Sales (We stand behind every cow we service) and a lighter from a Kum & Go Market. _____________________

*ahem* yeah, I find "Kum & Go" to be a very .. well, you know, here there's one on every corner... but I do think it was NOT the best way to .... blah!!
 lolI had a riot over the "Megaflicks" disaster. Lousy, lousy, lousy choice of fonts - altho the name is pretty mundane.  Ahh.. the memories. _____________________

Hmmm... lot of people from Colorado here! Anyways, heading up into the mountains in CO, there's a little store called "The Best Dam Store"...
That reminds me, at the Denver Art Museum, they were giving away these little pins that said "DAM" on them... great stuff |

I know a woman who opened a beauty shop next to a bus station and called it:

Oh, I almost forgot about a restaurant/tavern in Moscow, Idaho called The Slurp and Burp. In the half-dozen or so years that I lived in the Palouse region, I never managed to eat (or drink) there.
