OK - here's my German contribution to get the ball rolling. Can anybody else think of any others?

(Of course there's an umlaut on the u really, but still - it's close enough! Wink

There's a bakery company that is skewed towards Hispanics (I think, don't shoot the messenger if they aren't.) that is named Bimbo. Not sure what to make of it as a name though I find it humorous.

I don't want to link to it from my work computer, but collegehumor.com has a picture of a van from a Massachusetts moving company called "Clithero."

Fokker70NG · Tue Apr 04, 2006 12:21 am

I know this is Non-aviation, but what about the famous "Fokker"? Big grin

I've heard that when AA and US were still flying F100's, their customer service employees had trouble when clients called to ask which aircraft they would be flying on. So they started calling them Fokers Smile

When I have my PPL I hope there will be an opportunity for me to say "got the Fokker in sight" Smile

I knew a lady Shorts 360 pilot who, when she wanted a lower altitude would ask ATC if she could "let my shorts down" Never once heard them deny her request.

My favorite is still Dushy Yogurt in Aruba. I pointed it out to a flight attendant and she said: "Oh! I'll have the Massengill!"

EGTESkyGod · Tue Apr 04, 2006 12:54 am

I got a picture here, but I don't know how to post it, of company van with "Cock Polishing Services" on the side in big red letters.

No, I don't think they are a brothel.

Not a company, but there are 2 villages in the Shetlands called "Twatt"

Viper911 · Tue Apr 04, 2006 1:02 am

is that qualifies as rude? "Camp Scratch'n Sniff" Yeah sure

not a company but his name is rude: "Dick Rude" Wink

Massengill is a US brand of feminine hygeine "douche." Hence "Dushy" which I am sure means something else entirely in Aruba.

nkops · Tue Apr 04, 2006 1:22 am

In the ACY area here, we have a shooping center that has Dick's, BJ's, and Seaman's (furniture) all next to each other...

It's known locally as the sex mall

Your Chinese restaurant reminded me of one that used to be in Reno. Not risqué but certainly unappetizing: "The House of Lung Fung" Hey! Maybe it was really a pflegmish restaurant.

GLAGAZ · Tue Apr 04, 2006 3:45 am

The Chinese take-away shop just down the road from me used to be called the 'Fuk Lam', unfortunately they were forced to change their name to 'Fu Lam' Sad

Near Columbus Ohio is a firm called: Abrasive Technologies.

May not be rude, but I can just imagine their slogan:

We won't rub you the wrong way or perhaps, we rub harder so you won't have to!

it is Pschitt - their website is hilarious as they have got the joke and have various amusing pages, like where you can personalise stuff, called Pschitt Yourself etc - you get the picture.

I have their brand as my wallpaper!

Trepel Airport Equipment. The abreviation TAE on their cargo loaders caused our Filipino colleagues to fall into giggling fits, because in Filipino Tae means.... sh*t.

In Monterrey Park, Ca. (Little Taiwan) there's a building with "My Dung" posted in big red letters.

When I was at Cal Poly, Dr. Hurter and Dr. Payne were on staff at the Health Center.

In Culver City, Ca. a butcher shop's slogan is "You can't beat our meat".

In Painesville, Ohio, near the Fairgrounds, there's a radiator shop that says "A great place to take a leak".

A church along side the 14 freeway near Mojave had a marquee attempting to quote Jesus that read "Christ I am coming". I guess they didn't spend for the complete marquee letter set with full punctuation.
