There are two eccentric of people in this world : Those who appreciate paronomasia , and those who do not . in reality there ’s a third type of person : The person who laughs uncontrollably at said pun , talks about the pun unrelentingly , then texts you the pun again later along with alternative punning . That person is me .
Atlas Obscura and Digg have collaborated on a task that has had me writhing on the floor for about an minute now : Acrowdsourced map of over 3,000 pun - named businessesacross the USA , with very funny user - impart captions .
What ’s strike is not how awesomely direful all these names are , but the fact that so many of them are the same . Every individual pet store owner thinks of the same bad pooch style pun whether it ’s in Maine or Milwaukee or Maui . The leaning includes 30 — yes 30!—hair salons named Curl Up And Dye . CURL UP AND DYE . It act on at least four level . I want to meet all 30 of these small line of work owners .
Please , I beg of you , take a few arcminute to peruse the only substantiation you need that the American dream is live and well . Where else can a chimney wholesale company name itself Ash Wipe ? Where else ? ? ? Even the keep company articles are puntastic—“Hair They Are , the Punniest Salon Names in America . ”—and include a list of editor ’s picks . I presume you not to smile at Unbeweaveable .
