On my last trip to Britain I was surprised to see the off-color jokes and puns that worked their way into the names of some businesses. I saw a hamburger restaurant called "Burger Off" and a shop that sold brass hardware for doors called "Knobs and Knockers." A guy up the street from my in-laws had apparently named his house "Far Corfe" (i.e. f**k off).

I love it. Of course, Americans make jokes like that, too, but they're unlikely to put them into print in the form of a big sign hanging on a building. We wouldn't want to risk offending someone.
