Default Funny Business names

Went for lunch today and saw a couple of business names that made me laugh. First was "Bernard Musique." :rotfl: Can't imagine what it sold, u-boat lied transcriptions? Instruments from spare parts of u-boats trashed by Bernard?

Next was a bar I had forgotten about....and was now out of business. Another nautical theme.





"The New Titanic Pub" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:



Got any of your own? Real names please.

With that kind of name I think I will pass on doing business with them short of having either full insurance or a good lawyer.

When I worked at my local museum this summer, we had to record lists of business names from a local fonds. I can still remember that one of them was called "T & A Wholesalers."....Wonder what exactly it was that they sold....:hmm:
