Have you heard about the Ford dealer named Harrison Ford? Or the South Carolina Volkswagon dealer named Palmetto Bug? (I think you have to be familiar with Carolina’s jumbo cockroaches by the same name to appreciate that one).
The pencil without a lead is pointless.
Dead batteries for giveaway — free of charge.
How about the dentist and the manicurist who fought tooth and nail?
A boiled egg is hard to beat.
Okay, I love plays on words. Last week while walking down our country road with the grandkiddo, I tried singing a verse from the Dumbo song, “When I See an Elephant Fly.”
He’s four. He didn’t get it. 
I’ll keep trying until he does. The tune is cute, and the lyrics are too clever. Do you remember it?
I saw a peanut stand,
Heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything When I see an elephant fly.
I saw a front porch swing,
Heard a diamond ring,
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.
But I think I will have seen everything When I see an elephant fly.
I seen a clothes horse he r’ar up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn’t see that. I only heard
But just to be sociable I’ll take your word
I heard a fireside chat
I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I’d die
But I’d been done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly.
(Music composed by Oliver Wallace. Lyrics written by Ned Washington.)
You are the most amazing wordsmith! I will check out Dumbo for my 5 y/o granddaughter & I. I have always been fascinated by why you park on the driveway and drive on the parkway, etc. Names also get my attention. Dr. Harry Beavers (an ob/gyn) and Dr. C. Good (an optometrist). We have a Dr. Paine here ( dentist). I could spend hours looking at this kind of word play. I think it must be some kind of disorder. Oh, well. I could have something much scarier, I guess.
LOL. Yep, you could be a raving lunatic!
Years ago I worked with a cardiologist named Safety First. And rumor has it, though I can’t say it’s true, that his sister was named Ladies.
Somewhere there’s a hospital — can’t remember where — with a wing named after the Dedman family. And there’s a Goodbody funeral home.
And I have a cousin named Harleigh Davidson.
Words are just too much fun, aren’t they?
Lol. I went to high school with Raine Anne Storm. Why would parents do that to a kid?
I’m not sure why parents name their children like that. My kids went to school with Windy, Stormy and Sunny.
My aunt teased her sisters with wanting to name her daughter Rose–Rose Bush.
LOL. There’s a Ben Dover around here somewhere, and I went to school with Jack Frost and his sister Jill.
