Somewhere there's a hubcap shop with a pun on rimming in its name and no, I will not google it.

Hardly spectacular pun-making, but there's a food van I pass on my current regular cycle route called 'Simply Bread'. The van is red, of course.

Apparently their menu features the 'Phô King Cochon' (fucking pig, but 'cochon' can also mean 'racy'), 'Phô King Deal', 'cock-tails', 'Flash Thé Saint' (i.e. 'flash tes seins', flash your tits), 'Lichi Mwa Lku' ('lèche-moi le cul', lick my ass) and the self-explanatory 'Pho Ktup'. SHOCKING!!!

on the Long Island Railroad a few weeks back I saw out the window a strip-mall tattoo place called Monsters Ink. the middle panel of their plastic sign was off the building, propped up on the edge of the parking lot, so it just read Monst Ink, and i imagined the owner getting a cease-and-desist letter from Pixar and thinking "aha, THIS'll get them off my back!" but maybe it was just a cheap sign that fell apart. apparently they are permanently closed so maybe it's just the ravages of time.

This might be more for a 'great names for businesses' thread but there is a van in my area bearing the legend 'I & I Carpentry'. I've not seen the driver yet; I'm desperate for it to be a dude in a tam.

I reckon quite a few of the names here over the years are brilliantly (and often simultaneously horribly) formed.

Mon stink!
― emil.y, Saturday, 26 September 2020 17:42 (three years ago) link
Mon stink is great as a horribly formed French businessNot the name of the place but a local business had a sign for the last year with “ask about” on its own line but terrible kerning made it read “a ska bout” so I always pictured nerds with horns and pork pie hats engaging in fisticuffs

Cross-post to the Freemen on the Land thread"Mr Walton has presented arguments against lockdown which appear to be rooted in the “freeman on the land” conspiracy theory.
Its proponents say laws only apply to someone with their consent. No such argument has ever succeeded in court."
I don't think it's a pun btw

― kinder, Monday, 16 November 2020 18:28 (three years ago) link
Not that I know of, but maybe they specialize in religious/new agey/etc work, and thought the "hole" aspect of tattooing was worth the stretch.

maybe they do a lot of piercing? otherwise, I would not want to get a tattoo from a guy who said "yeah we'll put some holes in your skin"; seems like he may be missing the point.
