Business names

Wizbang has a call out for "Best business names".

This week's Mid-week Wizbang Contest is for the most clever business names. I'm looking for puns, innuendo, and downright ingenious terms. To cite three examples I've seen: A restaurant outside Baltimore called Cluck-U Chicken; a hair styling salon in Plymouth, NH named Curl Up And Dye; and my favorite used computer store in Salem, NH, MicroSeconds.

What I wonder is, do they have to be intentional?

There used to be a Thai place in Tujunga called the Poo Ping Palace.

The sign may still be there, but the restaurant has long since closed up and gone away. It seems no one wanted to eat there.

Fancy that...
