I've been staying here this week:
I'll bet they have a top notch "Department of Redundancy Department."

UMD supports GIs studying overseas through University College. It's (I think) an all-undergraduate institution that has a very wide variety of programs. With that said, it is fun to watch someone wander by the signs at the Education Office for the first time. "The University of....what?" Tons of fun!

Yeah ... I've got no idea what they do. They do have a great bar though with the best damn french dip I've ever had.

Okay, apparently lying in bed, trying to type on a keyboard standing on a table that’s about a foot higher than the bed you’re lying on doesn’t work very well. That was supposed to say, “Hadn’t seen that before”. (I’m sitting up now, that makes it easier)

This one is "China Jack" ... "Max off" ... but the way it looks is quite different. (With credit to Engrish.com)

Not a humorous name, but perhaps the most ridiculous/hilarious local business commercial I've ever seen. It plays often in my area. As one of the YouTube comments says, I am rendered immobile whenever it comes on TV:
YouTube - Best & Funniest Commercial Ever
|

"One ticket to Washington, please. I have a date with destiny."

I don't have a pic, but somewhere near Milwaukee is a car wash call the "MoFoCo Car Wash".

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

I was listening to some court case where a lady named her dog, "D.O.G.." When someone referenced to the dog, by calling the dog "dog," the lady exclaimed, "no, his name is D-O-G."
