Unfortunate Business Names!
 
I came across this quite funny list of funny business names - with photographic proof!

Here's one of my favorites...



"Sherrill's Eat Here And Get Gas"

(I guess it's both a restaurant and a gas station! At least, I hope that's the explanation!)

Here's another one...



"Brick Furniture"

Hmm... At least the furniture will last and last!

See more of these here... :)

Apparently there's something called In And Out burgers that is rapidly expanding in the USA. In and Out. No thanks...when I put my food in, I want it to stay there!

Yuck!
