There's some I know but they have bad words in them so I'll just post a picture of one that isn't as bad:

This is an unfortunate one. How it ever managed to get a single customer is a mystery to me.

This will probably be like the fail thread and get locked for a copy and paste exercise, so you'd need to bring in some discussion.

Although it's a thread that could provide some entertainment :P

I haven't seen the kids exchange one though, it gave me a chuckle.
How do people not think of these things?

One time I saw a restaurant that went something along the lines of 'Wang's meat noodles'... no joke

It depends on the name. Near where I live, there is a King Dong and a Chef Yu, both Chinese restaurants. They've been in business for quite some time, so either people are oblivious or they know how to not judge a book by its Chinese name.

Armor Games. Srsly, who would want to name their business Armor Games? What's that supposed to be? Games made out of Armor? Armor made out of Games? So confusing!

Actually, it's a mispronunciation of the original domain name. It's actually "Arm Or Games". Originally, one of the terms of agreement you had to agree to before signing up was that if you wanted to play the games here, you'd have to slice off your left arm. You'd have to ask yourself, is it worth it? Are these great flash games worth living with arm for? Well, apparently a lot of people chose "arm" over "games", and almost nobody signed up, so the original AG (then AoG) founders changed the rules so that anyone could play any of the games with any amount of arms.

The two swords in the logo represent the early A(o)G custom of arm-slicing.
