Tuesday ONE DAY EVENT: Weird/Strange Business Names in ads. (IE: Tom Raper RV; Dr. Ream, Dentures) Tom Raper RV commercials were on WGN Chicago all the time when I was a wee imp. Dr. Ream was a real dentist who specialized in dentures and yep, that was his sign Dr. Ream Dentures. So basically any business name that makes you revert to Beavis and Butthead.

Regrettably I could not find one, but my husband saw a specialist once called Dr. Doctor :D

I've heard so many great real doctor names.. there was a Dr Frankenstein and a Dr Pepper around where I grew up, but my favorite was always Dr. Quack (iirc, it was spelled differently but pronounced "quack")
