Funny small business name
I drove by a new strip mall that is being built. It is not open yet, but there are already signs up for some of the businesses.
There is a mail & ship type store called "Goin' Postal"
It cracked me up, but I wondered if some people would be offended by it. (We are only an hour away from the post office that had the first big post office shooting.)
The only other time I remember laughing out loud at a business name was at a dog groomers I saw called "Doggy Style".
Any funny business names near you? Do people take them seriously or do they quickly go out of business?

This is the concept used for a sign on a local Christian bookstore, except on the storefront it's all one color.
When it first opened, I wondered why on earth somebody would name their store "Hi Sword."

That "Clinica Dental" sign reminds me of a WC Fields movie short where he was a Dentist. He was treating the tall woman and somehow she ended up on him like that with both feet in his coat pockets and her arms around his neck. It was clearly a cleverly planned sex gag.
