  Haha... I wonder if the people who spend ages coming up with a witty pun based name for their business are disappointed when they see somewhere with the same name elsewhere.

  I've seen a hair dresser, and there used to be a party balloon shop/organisor (heard it advertised on the radio when I was young and innocent) called "blow jobs"
  
  I can even remember part of the jingle for the balloon, iirc it ended with "blow jobs make your party go with a bang".
