During the summer, I used to see trucks for a company called Bedwetters. They did landscaping.
This morning, I got behind a van for MS Painters. (probably only funny to the geeky crowd)

Not so much that the name is funny, but there is a local business that does plumbing and tatoos. I found that somewhat scary. There's a ton of places with kitschy sounding names: The SHell Shack, Shell World, Island Smiles (the dentist)...it goes on and on.

Any bakery that features its sticky buns is good for a laugh.

There's 'Bling Bling Auto Detailing' here in Raleigh. Their slogan is "Get Your Shine On!"
In college there was some septic tank service whose name wasn't special, but their slogan was priceless: "You dump and call, we pump and haul."

I don't think I would have quite believed it if I hadn't seen it.
There's a bar here called "Slimey's" and, it is. There's a pole in the corner because it used to be a strip club. Also, the one strip club in Islamorada (about which I have heard some scary things) is called "Woody's"! teehee.
