Sunday Funny - Hilarious Corporate Names
While driving near an industrial park yesterday, the Mrs. & I spied a warehouse with the words:

FUCHS LUBRICANTS



written on the side in giant letters. We both burst out laughing simultaneously.

Got any others?

1. About 20 miles from where I live is a processing plant named
"Schwing".

(Not to mention the bicycle company "Schwin", but they're not as funny.)

2. Here in Iowa
One of our most common gas station convenience store places is Kum and Go. And yes, that is how they spell it.

6. That's similar to a business venture a friend once wanted to start.
Called: STOP & FLOP

He envisioned a drive-in for lonely truckers. The idea was, a trucker would pull into a stall, large enough to accomodate his rig. A video screen would drop down in front of the truck cab. The trucker would be given a selection of porn titles which would then be shown on the screen. Then the trucker would then privately stimulate himself/herself and be back on the road in a matter of minutes, hence......."STOP & FLOP"!!

I thought it was a great idea.
