I kinda liked this one....

You could have a stamp made up that just said OMAB

It would be easily identifiable.

So, Vince...would we find this particular incendiary insect larvae hosting
"Queer Eye for the Straight Fly"?

Hmmm...maybe you're right, and it is time to stop.

Not bad, but makes one think about how much worse naming a
business would be for other professions. Especially medics,
seeing that half Vince's substitute list was based on ailments
and afflictions. Which must be why they don't go for goofy
either...

Sincerely

Janet Kaiser - A fitting joke sent to me by a Clayarter not too
long ago...

Two doctors opened an office in a small town. They put up a sign
reading:
"Dr Smith and Dr Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology."

The town council was not too happy with the sign, so the doctors
changed it to: "Hysterias and Posteriors."

This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the
council, they changed the sign to: "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids."

No go! Next they tried "Catatonics and Colonics" Thumbs down
again.

Then came, "Manic-Depressives and Anal-Retentives."

But is was still not good! So they tried:

"Minds and Behinds"

"Analysis and Anal Cysts"

"Nuts and Butts"

"Freaks and Cheeks"

"Loons and Moons"

"Lost Souls and Ass Holes"

None worked.

Almost at their wits' end, the doctors finally came up with a
title they thought might be accepted by the council: "Dr Smith
and Dr Jones, Odds and Ends."

APPROVED!
