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. |

This is an invitation to generate a list. |

Reminds me of the old ING commercials wiith the guy asking what the whole word on the bench with only "ING" visible was (ING being the whole word itself of course.) |

I was on a bus and saw a poster warning about 'rug abuse' (the 'd' being hidden by a pole). It got me wondering about whether they are typically smoked or snorted. And musing that there's no such thing as a soft rug... |

[imaginality] Rug abuse is what rug beaters do. |

Also reminds me of the "Columbo" episode where one had to be standing in the exact center of a field next to a cannon, in order to see a cider jug hanging out a dorm window. |

S****thorpe isn't suggestive or sublimanal, just unfortunate in this age of overzealous censorship software. |
