Slyly Suggestive Subliminal Signs

Whilst journeying into town (gotta love the word "whilst") I saw a great number of signs. I looked at one, saw the letters, an thought about them, and had an idea.

Every business should have a hidden messge in their name. And then, they should strategically position objects, so that from a busy intersection/parking lot/place, some of the letters are blocked, and the hidden message is revealed.

For instance (a rough example):

Bugoyta Herrie's Sausages

Bu##y## He#r#e Sausages

The odd side effect is that many businesses would end up with exotic/Russian sounding names.

Kudos to the person who can come up with the best hidden message name

       There are websites that revel in the hidden meanings of business logos. Some are hilarious - if I remember, I'll post a link.
