Top Ten Weird Store Names

I was just doing research for a paper on Stonehenge for Mr. S's class, and I stumbled upon this site about British stores with weird names. Of course, this made me not want to do my paper anymore, so I started making this week's Top Ten list instead.

1. Humprhey Yogart. Because I'm sure the late screen legend loved scrabble mixed in with his plain vanilla, right? Scrabble is good.

2. Freudian Sip. A coffee house on the campus of California State University, Northridge. Oddly, not next to the psychology department.

3. It's Curtains for You! Guess what they sell there?

4. Earth, Wind, and Flour. Just....my God.

5. Pizza the Action. They're for sure going to look at your boobs when you order your pizza.

6. Buy the Book. A business name, and a command.

7. The Prawnbrokers. Well, I suppose if you have to work with smelly seafood all day, you are entitled to a punny name.

8. Wok and Roll, Wok this Way, Wok on the Wild Side. Food made in a wok is funny.

9. Beauty and the Bistro. Unclear as to whether there actually is a beauty working there.

10. Bead It! This one made me laugh out loud.
