Proper Company Names
October 31st, 2006
Following on from the recent discussion with Marshall about company names, whereby we decided a proper company name must contain:
1. The person’s christian name
2. What the company does
In order to fully comply with our standards I have sought and found one that may rival ‘John’s Replacement Windows’ in the obvious stakes. Yesterday on the back of a bus I noticed an advertisement for ‘Gary Hall – Windows, Doors and Conservatories’. Now this almost beats John were it not for the fact that Gary Hall doesn’t say what he does with the windows, doors and conservatories. I mean he could easily use them to service cars or chase bears away from picnic grounds… it just blows my mind. If Gary had taken a little more time with it he could have reached John’s level but unfortunately he just falls short. Nevermind

I believe there’s a stall in Leeds Market called Karen’s Butties. It’s simplicity itself – truly beautiful!

Those are the kinds of apples you’d hop on board a luxery ferry and cross the Mersey with in style, with a petit croissant and many tubs of jam.
She makes it seem so effortless.

I should add that her butties are awful.

Minus ten points.
Maybe we should get some replacement windows just to check that Johns up to scratch.
