Innuendoes in business names?
Okay, I'm going to appear (even more) juvenile with this thread, but I don't care.

In my area there have been some businesses that have names which are innuendoes, or which can misread with odd results.

For years there was an insurance agency called Rod Sanders Insurance. That made me wince every time I drove by! :scared: Then there is the boatyard called Dick Core Marine (insert your own joke here).

1. I saw an ad last night...
for an acid reflux drug (with side effects including mild abdominal discomfort and changes in stool) called AciPhex. Clearly, that one slipped by the marketing people. Drug which causes bowel cramps and loose poop named "Ass Effects". I am beyond stunned that nobody caught that one.

2. Oh, I think that one was intentional.
It's too good to be an accident.

3. I always liked "Big Peckers" in Ocean City, MD
The logo is a rooster ;}

On a side note, over the grill at most Hooters restaurants, they have bumper stickers plastered everywhere. The one in Ocean City has a "I (heart) Hooters" sticker and directly below it is an "I (heart) Big Peckers".

6. Their logo was very reminiscent of a certain part of the female anatomy.
Of course, this was 20+ years ago, back when "clams" were still "bearded". :eyes:

Not that I mind.
