There is a local window treatment company here that drives a van that says, "Blind Man Driving!"

So the other day I was taking a shower when I heard a knock on the door. I asked who it was and the guy shouted out "Blind man!" So I just answered the door without bothering to put on a towel ot anything. Then he asks me "Where would you like me to put these ventian blinds ma'am?"

Evidently there is (or was) a liquor store somewhere near LAX called Pussy Liquors...I only know this because a plane with a banner flew over the beach one day advertising it. I was cracking up when it flew by.

Liquor up front, poker in the rear?

I understand that there are three location of a package store in Massachusetts called "Bunghole Liquors." I refuse to provide a link but it's Googleable.

Not exactly in the same league as what you guys are joking about...
But around 1990, Lakewood Mall debuted two new shops, which were located next door to each other. The first was a big, beautiful Frederick's of Hollywood. The other was... 'Mother-To-Be', a maternity shop.
(Last I checked, Frederick's is still there.)

In a similar vein - true story. 1991, if I recall correctly.
Quincy, Washington has a high school. The mascot name is the Jackrabbits.
After the girls basketball team won its third game of the season - with no losses - the Wenatchee World headline blasted across the front of the sports section read:
Lady Jacks Off to 3-0 start
I only wish I still had a copy of that paper.

Yes indeed. The one closest to my mother's house is next door to the local branch of the Red Cross.

How convenient... get your coolant changed! Drain it in one place and refill it in the other.
