In Australia there was a rash of Thai restaurants in Sydney with bad puns for names:
Thai Riffic
Bow Thai
Thai Ranosaurus
Thai Spy
Thai To Remember
Thai Fire Fry
Back in Canberra there was Dickson's Tak Kee Roast Inn
And in uni days there was a asian deli in Summer Hill call Duk Wel Hung
Was on the highway yesterday and for quite some way I followed a van with the company name "Y C Heating & Plumbing Inc." In fairly big letters below that, they also wanted you to remember their web site:
ycheating.com
My eyes kept reading "cheating". Not a great ad for a trade. I also followed for some way a rental van from Home Depot. On the back window of the van are large vinyl letters that read:
Rent Me At
-- Home Depot logo below
But I kept reading it as "Rent Meat" and wondered if Home Depot has gotten into the butcher biz, or whether it should really change name to Ho Depot!
(hmmm ... maybe I should post this in Mame's bad jokes thread ... or get my eyes checked.)
We once went to a Thai restaurant called (I kid you not) the Poo Ping Palace.
The food lived up to the name.

Theres a popular beach bar in Ocean City Md called "Big Pecker's".
My favorite was a French restaurant owned by a black family near South Chicago . It was called "Chez What"
