Now this is only funny because our babysitter, the girl in the picture, is called Spirit. Again, Katy Mills Mall - Houston (we went there when we got forcefully disembarked from our cruise ship)

That reminds me of driving out of DC on New Hampshire Avenue. There is a complex called "Presidential Condiminium" and the sign is written on two lines. As you approach it the right hand side of the sign is obscured and all you can see is "President Condom".

Reminds me of the marquee sign outside Sonic just before last Christmas - it read "Hiring Mangers".

When I was last in Manhattan, there was a Korean restaurant in Koreatown named "U2". I have a photo but it's not digital.

Maybe the band are big fans of Korean food?

For those familiar with cockney rhyming slang.......

would've been a good domain name for a brothel.

Cheese sandwich $1
Ham sandwich $2
Wank $50

He see's a rather fat and extremely ugly woman sitting behind a desk and asks her:
"Is that sign right? Cheese sandwich $1 Ham sandwich $5 and a wank $50?"
The ugly woman replies "Yeah, that's right"
"Who does the wank" asks the guy
"I do" replies ugly woman
"Well wash yer hands and make us a cheese sandwich will ya"!!
