Knew a colleague named Dick Sass. Learned about him from my old boss:
"Hey Clive, are you free this afternoon? It's important we go see Dick Sass!"

There is a store in Findlay, OH called Nuts & Butts. Seriously!
Many years ago I worked for a trucking company that had two brothers that drove OTW. Their last name was Liss. First names? Peter and Dick.
Now you have to be making that up!
At one time, the Oakland A's had a couple of pitchers named Klink and Plunk.
I think I remember that.
I have two friends named Mike Cox and actually worked with a Mike Hunt. This is no lie. One of my youngsters that works with me walked up and I introduced her to Mike Cox and she told him he should meet her dads frined named Mike Hunt. They are everywhere I suppose.

I worked for a light steel erection company during summers when I was in college. Those guys definitely used the word "erection" in the name of their business on purpose. I forget the slogans but they had a bunch of them (it's obviously not hard, heh, to come up with them). It is pretty neat how you'd have a pile of steel on the ground and then, suddenly, a crane would pull the whole thing up and suddenly you had a building...
There's a coffee shop near me in Hudson, NY, named "Swallow." Down the street a ways, there's an ice-cream shop named "Lick."
So who wants to front me some seed capital to open a rotisserie BBQ place named "Spits?"
A business I used to work for had a client named Gay Hooker. Every time I dealt with her account I giggled and called people just to reiterate that her name was, in fact Gay Hooker. And I believe it was her maiden name too. There's also a small law firm near me with the names Penix & Spicer. I laugh like Beavis & Butthead every time I drive by. Penix. Heh heh...
I don't half-ass anything
