Funny companies

[xyzabc198]

I was just scrolling through a list of contacts, and found a company that Import and distribute bananas.

It got me thinking about all the different funny things companies do and funny company names.

Like once I called mr Benson, and he said his manager Mr Hedges was the guy I needed (Benson and hedges is a type of cigarette)

I once spoke to a Mr Tight at a belt manufacturer.
I once called a toilet seat manufacturer called potty power ltd (bankrupt now I believe.)

Anyone else got any funny ones?

There's a local cement making company whose lorries I see quite often going down city road called 'Jim'll Mix It.'

I used to work for a guy (who was very unpleasant) who shipped waste paper to the other side of the world to be recycled (although I wonder whether the actually shipping was better for the environment...) Anyway for some god unknown reason he called his business Xpap. I just sounded so awful.

Although not a company, I currently work in The Department of Play. Very Orwellian.

haha some good ones there Bryony, the Xpap guy sounds a little crazy...
I just remembered a window cleaning guy who named his company BeeJay...surely they must have known what they were implying, but seeing these huge vans with BEEJAY printed in huge letter on the side gave our town such a bad image

Whats funny about a company that distibutes bananas? if someone didn't then we would have no banana, oh yes we have no babanas today.

I am pretty sure that the name here is a family name, but takes on a whole new meaning with the line of business the family is in:
