Sunday, we laughed at examined store names that might be construed as really damn stupid less than optimal. Today, we examine stores that combine unrelated industries under the same umbrella, like those gas stations that make donuts. Blecch.

For example, years ago, I went to San Francisco with my then-wife. She had forgotten her ID. Since she was only 24, she didn’t want to be carded. We solved it by stopping at a shop in Chinatown that specialized in hand-scooped ice cream… and photo ID.

I told Nikki that a popcorn store opened in Royal Oak. Her response was as always, subtle and understated. “Get the fuck out. Who needs a popcorn store?” Naturally, I responded that, “I do.” Then we had a giggle fit thinking of other useless stores that one might encounter in a dying strip mall.
