Store names and slogans that make you think- WTF?

[mdr55]

Talk about ill-marketing stratagies. Do you ever do a double take when you see a store or slogan that makes you think WTF? Here are some examples:
1. DYKES in Hoboken (It's a lumber company, can you believe it? What were they thinking?)
2. DICK'S in Philadelphia (It's a damn sporting goods store for crying out loud)
3. HOOTERS anywhere (It's a family style restaurant/airline company not a stripjoint?)

Yea, they are pretty weak.

I think poor spelling in names catches my eye even more.

Like Kwik Stop. Was a Q more money or something?

A Brit co-worker of mine regularly (and proudly) wears a shirt with "NIMROD" embroidered on the chest.

Evidently it's a RAF type aircraft he worked on over there...

NIMROD MR2 (http://www.aerotechnews.com/phtoarc/webphot/Nimrod1/Nim1.html)

...but it's still funny as hell to me to see him wear it out in public around here!

I remember those. I believe they were spelled "Ayd's" weren't they?

My juvenille humor always causes me to laugh whenever I hear someone say they're going to get Dickey's Frozen Custard.
