What’s In A Name?


Some people have mothers that speak in proverbs like “If you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all.” Not being similarly privileged, I was undeterred from posting the mindless ramblings that occurred to me today on my drive home from shopping.

Spotting a discarded couch on the sidewalk I asked my wife if she would buy it. “Heck No.” was her immediate reply “Who knows what’s living in it.”

My mind began listing a few innocuous storefront names which would curse business.

  • Curbside Couches
  • GrandMa’s Mattresses
  • Well Used Adult Books
  • Real Garbage Platters
  • MT Bank (actually this one isn’t fair since it’s real.)
