Here in Hong Kong, many people collect funny and apt shop names eg: 'Lee Kee Boot Co.",'Wong Kee Bicycle Co", and my favourite... it's in the yellow pages..The Sher Lee Temple!!!

In Niagara Falls, they sell a product named 'Moose Droppings'. However, it really is only just chocolate-covered raisins.

The next time you are in Georgia, stop in at:

Frank's Seafood Restaurant.

You can't miss it, it is right next door to Frank's Septic Company.

True!
