Thread Name: BS: the funny business of names
Subject: RE: BS: the funny business of names
Mimsey, I've known several people with the last name "Casebeer."  But I think "Dart Fartworth" takes the case.  [I think I mentioned Linda Titsworth, above, didn't I?]

Re business names, there are a couple that I think are not so much funny as silly-sounding:  Wallpapers To Go and [one I heard tonight] Trophies To Go.  I guess in both cases they're trying to convey that you don't have to order [the wallpaper or trophy] and come back for it in 2 weeks.  But when I  hear those names, I want to ask, "Well, what other kind IS there?  Is there a store where I would buy wallpaper [or a trophy] and have to use it there in the store?!
