    There was this guy who ran a garage business near me, who's name was Wayne King. If you're English, you'll probably get it. There was also the friend of a friend's brother who's name was Richard Head. I dread to think what line of business he went into. O_o
    I used to spend Saturday nights at the dirt track with my dad.

    One of the race car drivers was a guy by the name of Richard Hed.

    So that makes two.

      The Cheesecake Factory

      When I first saw the ads at the mall that a Cheesecake Factory was coming I thought it was a strip club.

      Saw a person's name the other day. Mahboob Butt.

        I saw one today, and I do not want to know what it is. The name was Erection of Stockton, and the tag line for it is, For all your Backdoor needs

          There's also a Hung Far Low in Portland, OR.

          On Leary Way in Seattle for many years two businesses were across the street from each other: Tacoma Screw and Seattle House of Hose. Tacoma Screw is still there, the House of Hose went out of business.

          I live in the Ballard neighborhood, the Ballard High School teams are the Beavers, so there are several businesses in the area such as Beaver Brew (an espresso stand).

          I have a client who is an immigrant, his first name is Semen. Were I him, I'd change it.

              Smack Yo Mamma: Actually a type of sauce. And yes, it's that good.
              I always thought the best name for a hot sauce was "Slap My Ass and Call Me Sally." But as I was researching the reference to make sure I had it right, I found, the one and only, "Dr. Payne Indeass's Butt Blazin' Recipe # 6 Butt Pucker XX Sauce."

              I remember a movie on Cinemax a long time ago... one of their late night soft core smut movies. I have the feeling "Peter Hard" was a stage name... but "Lance Boyle" I wasn't so sure about.

              And then there was the priceless moment at work... I brought up the customer's account... I had one of those, "if you let me get through this, I promise I'll be a better person" moments...

              Me: May I have your name please?
              Caller: Lo. Huong Lo.

              And finally, I live a block away from "S&M Body Shop" and "B&D Machinery (or something like that)."

                There's the "Stiff Nipples" air con company (Google Stiff Nipples Picture)

                And a collegue from a few jobs ago was forever grateful his parents had named him John and not Wayne. His surname is Kerr.

                  I was flipping through an Avon book just today, and could they not come up with a better name for a lip gloss line than Hook Up? Sheesh. I wonder if they also offer Skank Mascara and Easy Lay Eyeshadow?

                  Okay. There is a business here in town called Mann Tool. Or Manntool. Either way, you know? A friend of mine was making a flyer for something for them once, and the prize was "two tickets on the Mann Tool Express." Of course, I just started giggling. I'm so twelve years old. I started giggling, and that's when he "got" it. A week later he said, "Thanks loads. I cant' see that name now without thinking it."

                    Not quite on par with these, in town we have the Post Office Bar and Grill. When they moved the Post Office, someone turned the old one into a bar.

                      No, but they offer Dirty Tramp Blush. And when the customer base matures a bit more, they will move up to attachable body glitter to help highlight and flatter that hot new fashion trend, genital sores.

                        One of my company's accounts was a business called Rise Softools.

                        They deal in financial information, but the name seems far better suited to a Cialis competitor.

                          Drove past Throckmorton st in Fort Worth, and then had to explain what a positive Throckmorton was to everyone else in the truck.
                          ok....so what is a positive Throckmorton??
                          Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

                            Back in the old days of TV, we had to run commercials on these small, brick like cassettes. Each commercial had to be dubbed, timed out, have a start and stop point recorded on there, and a lable typed so that when it showed up the preview as "gonna run next" we'd know what it was, like "Food Lion 245" or "Eckard 563" and so forth. It would show up on the screen like a caption.

                            Well, the lables got creative. "News Brief" became "News Barf." "Eckard figure skater" became "Mannish broad on ice". Ad by local politician become "dickhead stuffed into suit."

                            Our supervisor told us to knock it off. So we did.

                            There is a furniture store in town by the unfortunate name of "Badcock." (actually, there is a mattress store called Les Bollocks, too, but I digress.) Anyway, instead of typing up something filthy, like normal, we simply typed in "Badcock."

                            Supervisor saw the word "cock" in the caption and chewed us a new one. We took demonic and perverse pleasure in telling him that was the real name of the business! He got really embarassed...because you KNOW we accused him of having a dirty mind all day after that.

                              Two of the most prominent Urologists at my local Medical center are Dr. Wood and Dr. Palm.

                              Think about it.
