"Mr Shifter -- Toilet Bowl Cleaner" :)

Santa,

Odd, though, on that school's History page, I can't find any reference to when the school was founded (indeed, there isn't much history there at all).

Da mihi sis crustum Etruscum cum omnibus in eo.

 
PMS (the school) was founded in 1990, several years following the popularisation of the term PMS (during the 1980s) to refer to the medical condition. I contacted the school just now to suggest that they add a "School History" link to their website.

Good catch, Flapeyre!

Back in my other life, when I was a buyer, I got to deal with companies as well as sales people with original names. There was Bob Ball, the ball-joint flange salesguy, and after buying flanges, I'd have to go to Climax Lubricants to buy grease sticks for the assembly of the pipe fitting. Somebody already listed my favorite bakery, Bimbo (if you've never had a mexican pastry, I highly recommend them!) Or you can always go have lunch at FuKim.
 
There is (or was) the fastener distributor in New Orleans - Gulf States Screw Products.

I noticed they finally aded a space to "KidSexchange".

"Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted."
 
Reminds me of a rather obvious one I have seen on the side of a few semi's over the last couple years.

Fuchs Lubricants

Seriously, the people coming up with these names HAVE to realize what they are doing .. right?
