 yougottawanta:

A local plumbing company name is "Peed Plumbing"  then the guy who Perfected/invented the porcelain throne last name was "Crapper" dont believe me google it.

 

Aren't you glad it wasn't one of our ancestors that invented the toilet. Who wants their last name associated with taking a #2.

Yea buddy ! I am sure glad I am not related to that guy !

This is a true story;

At the First National Bank of Griffin, Ga, there were at one time 3 men on the Board of Directors with the names, Cheatum, Cummin & Goin!

Needless to say, but thats the name of our local attorneys on my club's layout.

It's not necessarily a business;  it's a railroad.  In northern New Jersey where I was born and raised we used to refer to the DL&W as the Delay, Linger and Wait. 

A local railroad here in Southeast Michigan, the Pontiac, Oxford, and Northern (PO&N) which was absorbed into the Grand Trunk many years ago, was apparently referred to as the Poor, Old and Neglected.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
