Thread Name: BS: Funny Names of Businesses
Subject: RE: BS: Funny Names of Businesses
Jim D., I remember the Griesedick Bros. from when I lived in Quincy, Illinois, and as a high-schooler, I thought it was pretty funny then!

A business name that's not funny in its own language (German) but is pretty hilarious to an English-speaking person is "Pschitt"* Cola. I remember seeing the name on the walls of the ice rink when European or World competitions were held in Germany, and I got a quite a chuckle out of the name.

*For those not familiar with German, the "P" and "C" are silent, and the "i" is short.
