XXXX READY MIX Hard as you want it! Long as you can take it!

His father was not amused but the concrete finishers loved them. Turned out to be the best advertising money the company ever spent.

Another Porta-potty outfit slogan......

"We're number one in the number two business."

On a septic service business card (not on the truck, however).......

"Your shit is our bread and butter."

An auto body ad......

"May we have the next dents?"

Back in the days when the University of Steubenville was the College of Steubenville, the local collegians' watering hole was -- what else? -- The Library.

Best one I saw when I was pulling steel was a laundry in a little Iowa town.

Robert and Jerry Wong's Laundry: Two Wongs do make it white.

Then there was the electrician van somewhere: Let us take off your shorts!

Sounds like the local ambulance-chasing chiropracter: "Dr. LeTay Injerd", who has his ads pasted up on about half of the local billboards, or the dentist who practices in the same building complex: "Dr. Fillmore", or the dental office down the street a few blocks that I won't even consider making an appointment with because of their sign, which reads "Payne & Hertzmoore DDS LLC".

(And no, I'm *NOT* making these up for giggle-value... They actually exist, and I drive by them at least once per workday - and quietly shake my head at the irony...)

I've seen a bar called "The Office" (good for excuses).

I think "The Hissing Clam" would be a good name for a lesbian bar.

For about 20 years I have operated a sharpening service , Daily Grind Sharpening Service

Is your life dull and boring? Call Daily Grind ( it had a picture of a plumbers multispur bit)

In any case about a dozen years ago some coffee outfit had their attourney send me a cease and desist notice regarding the use of his customers trade name. So I sent him a copy of my sales tax permit with my name from a good ten years prior to that and told him if his customer wanted to sell coffee they were free to use my name but if they began sharpening they would have to pay me for the use. I dunno I guess the attourney was dotting all the I's and crossing the T's but if you gave one a viagra they'd probably grow taller.

Never heard another word.

In the same vein, I was following a van loaded with ladders on the freeway recently that had the bumpersticker "My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter", so I assumed it was a Christian tradesman. Then I noticed the van was from Rosenberg Windows, Doors and Sash, and got wondering if it was just a statement of fact.
