Oh, Betty Jo.

I found this online, taken by some astute traveller while driving through Kentucky. I dare say it may be time for a name change, BJ:

On a related note, I was introduced to a man named Buster Goode once, and no it wasn't a porn star.

When I see names like that I always wonder what happened when his/her ancestors arrived at Ellis Island - You know when they asked their last name and the people couldn't understand them, they assigned names based upon their profession like the cooks last name ended up Baker, the Banker ends up Banks, the man in the green shirt ends up Mr. Green, so what about Mr. Morecocks? Did he drop his drawers at Ellis Island??

Where I live, there's a Dick's sporting goods. For a while there was a furniture store next door to it called Seaman's. Unfortunately I never got a picture of it before the furniture store moved out.

There's a real estate agent in central Ohio who's signs read "Go to Helen Waite Real Estate". No lie.

THe liquor store next to my old apartment had the sign "Liquor Rear entrance" I chortled (that's right, chortled) everytime I saw it, and would point it out to friends. Did I mention I was in 5th grade?

Sometimes you have to wonder if they did it on purpose. Like this liquor store I came across in Salem, MA. Come on, that can't have been an accident.

The picture was taken in Virginia, you idiot! Obviously by someone who didn't pass elementary school geography.
