Oh, and my wedding announcement from 1984: "On September 15, One Rite will make Two Ronks."

I bet your friends are VERY tired of you by now!

Nice pun. Is it just a single tow truck or a company?

Always wanted to start a Chinese Restaurant called Hunan Resources.

During my years as a business counselor, I worked with a start-up tailoring & fabric repair shop called Sew What? Conveys maybe the wrong attitude marketing-wise, but cute all the same. (Also worked with one of the last polka-programming radio stations in the upper midwest - 19 Hours of Polka Daily!"....if I was a novelist, there was at least one novel in there.)

This is more of a catch-phrase rather than a business name. When I was just outa high school I drove a delivery truck for an auto parts store. One morning I pulled into Larry's Brake Shop and there was Larry standing out on the sidewalk admiring his newly-installed signage. In giant letters across the front of his garage it now read:

LARRY'S BRAKE SHOP
WE CHALLENGE TO COMPARE

"So, whaddya think? I made it up myself!"

We Challenge to Compare? Really? Being a teenaged a**hole, I told him his catch phrase made no sense and would only cloud the brains of potential customers. Larry didn't talk to me for weeks. Called my boss - who thought the whole thing was funny.

Contenders for top honors so far - gotta up the ante now, guys......

Not a business slogan or name but creatively funny nonetheless.

I saw a bumper sticker a week or so ago, that said "Back off! I already have one a**hole on my tail!"

I nearly spit up my coffee...and, before you ask no, I wasn't following him too close, I was passing him in the outside lane...

We have a tattoo shop here in town and their catch phrase is: "Tattoos while you wait"

There is a sewing shop in town that does high volume detail work for shops that mass produce clothing. They sew on the name tags, washing instructions, etc. sometimes put part a and part b together, stuff like That. it's called sew many parts.
