Default 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!
