Thanks for all the input so far. Keep them coming if you can think of anything else! :)

I will post if he decides to use anything that has been posted here.

Hey, Paul, I have no idea about the way things work in PA for this sort of stuff, that will be his problem. :D

I used to get a kick out of a sign on the side of a garbage truck in WA.
"USED MEALS ON WHEELS"

OR "ARK WELDING"
Thought that was rather specialized.

My town had a iron works shop owned by the Crook family. My 9 year old, as he started noticing signs along the road, got the biggest kick out of "CROOKS STEEL"

I worked at a company that did work for Cox Cable co. One of the salesmen came out of his office one morning laughing. He showed me an email he recieved. It was from a woman with a terrible name. Her email was [email protected] . I left off part of her name due to it being her email. Salesman said it sounded more like a porn site than a bussiness email. I'm sure she catches alot of heat over that name. Poor girl.

I just got back from a short holiday in Brisbane, a week or so ago. On one of my early morning walks over there I spotted a lawn mowing contractors sign outside a house. It read "Apache Lawn mowing Service" and the background photograph had an inverted Apache helicopter levelling the grass. Looked impressive at that time of the day.
