http://www.lamers.com

Now, just from the url alone, you can assume a few things... well, you're wrong.

Go look... now.


1) I feel sorry that the guys' last name is Lamers
2) I feel sorry that the guys felt they had to make the co. name their last name

Who would want to ride with Lamers: the passenger professionals?

It's still funny to read the "about Lamers" page and take it way out of context

It could ALWAYS be worse.

Try having a last name of "Gay".

I knew a chick and her last name was Guzzler.

What's worse, and to this day I'll never understand why, she joined the Navy

Now, for any one familiar with the ranking structure of the Navy you'll know what I'm talking about. I swear, I don't know what she was thinking.

Most people in business don't even know what Lamer means, so...

People just want to feel important, so no matter what their last name is... Heck, I saw a ball bearing company once on the 401 highway called "FAG".

Ok here's one. There's a "raper's furniture" near me.

....

Why the hell would anyone call their store "RAPER'S"?

I can understand that the formal term is actually rapist, but still.

I saw something with the acronym OMG, but I can't remember what it was...

I know a Chinese person with the name 'Ziming Wang' and another guy whose first name is 'Golden' (Can't remember second name)

Imagine combining them two names

While going through Missouri to visit relitives in Wisconsin, I saw a bulding that had a "FAG Bearings" sign and a bunch of flags with the letters "FAG" around the parking lot.

According to http://www.holophane.com/Product/Case/fagb.htm, they have plant in Joplin, Missouri, and is four buildings. It is probably what I saw.

ROFL! I can tell you I'd never be riding that.
Reminds me of the "Cockburn Refridgeration" truck parked outside the store across from the school one day. Yes, that's how it was spelled.

Well, that's a name like any other, since it is used in the English language namely
This reminds me about a movie - I don't know the English title:
The main actor's name was Gaylord Focker, usually the short form was "Gay Focker" .
He wanted to marry his girlfriend with her first name "Martha".
Now just think how "Martha Focker" sounds

By the way, an advocate in Berlin has the last name "Ficker", I think I don't need to translate that into English
Usually anyone should go change that name; but he doesn't seem to have a problem with that name

As long her surname is not Wilma (Wilma Ficken).

What can I say, my last name is the German equialent of 'prince'. (Like in count, king, emperor) But it's not a noble name.

For a fact, the company I work for has the ancronym CCS, as in Card Capture Sakura (But we have nothing to do with this Anime and Manga Series, but is fun to say that you work for Card Capture Sakura).

A friend of mine is called Schiess. No the German readers will read it like Schiss or something (Schiss haben, be chicken, or Schiss, Shit). But the siwssgerman would read Schi ess (shi - ess).

There's a company over here in Australia called L.J. Hooker. It's funny because they have these ads now, with "Mr. Hooker Bear". I swear that has to be the name of a pimp or something.
