Subject: LL-L "Names" 2004.05.19 (05) [D/E]

LLs: Your observation of names and their chance association with a
profession or business induces me to transmit the following absurdities
(slogans) reflecting the tendency to be playful with the language.  A
radiator repair shop: A Great Place To Take A Leak; septic tank service:
Our No.1 Businesss Is No.2; sign on rear of window blind service truck:
This Truck Is Being Driven By A Blind Man.   How's this for carrying
double entendre to the limit?        Sam
