OMG and OMG again LOL

There are places I'd go to just for the kick, and some places I'd avoid! I do wonder how it affects their business bottom line however (bottom, hmm...) just as I wonder if some people lose property value because of a hilarious or embarassing town name.

What WERE they thinking??

I remember there was a burger place near a place that I worked called Cum burgers. None of us would go there. You sure posted some dandies here. Very funny stuff.

Hi Sylvia, have to say I have laughed at these pictures you have posted.
I enjoy a sense of humor. May be it has an adverse effect on trade.
People's names can cause a stir too.
Frank G Slaughter was a doctor who became an author.
There are many more.
Thanks for your visit and comment SWF. Have a good weekend.

There's a sign in Portland that says "Hung Far Lo" for a Chinese Restaurant. I thought that was funny. Those pictures are hilarious.

I'd love to work at that Sushi place and answer the phones!

I am surprised that zoning didn't make them change the names.

It is amazing though to see them. Wow. And funny too.

These are too funny !! I had to reread them a couple of times because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. What were they thinking ? I am back from my blogging break. I missed all of my blogging buddies and now have a great deal of catching up to do. Everyone has been busy. Thanks for the laugh - love your humor!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
