Why would someone name their store this?

[sakabatou]

BJ's. You'd think they would know what it meant.

[rcrush]

1. Why not?

[sakabatou]

2. You do know what a BJ is, right?

[rcrush]

3. Yeah

So whats the problem?

[sakabatou]

4. Oh nevermind...

[MajorChode]

41. They could name it the Titty Nipple Pink Palace and it wouldn't bother me

However, I'm not easily offended.

[jobycom]

5. Probably to get notoriety and free advertising from people posting about it all over the Web.

That would be my plan, anyway.

[Mopar151]

6. Well, around here

"HUMMER" is slang for fellatio, same as BJ's. And the dealer in ManchVegas built a new showroom, with "Double Drive-Through Service Lanes" - in a city notorious for hookers.

[Heidi]

7. "Blow job" isn't the only thing the acronym "BJ" can represent,

and I'm surprised you assume that it is. :hi:

[Iggo]

8. The pizza place around the corner from my work is called BJ's.

And yes, when we announce where we're going for lunch, we say "We're getting BJ's."

[susanr516]

9. We have a B&J's Pizza in my town

Great pizza and a really good selection of beers.

[alarimer]

19. I love their pizza!

And beers. It used to be a weekly thing for us but now I am trying to eat better.

[MineralMan]

10. There are ton's of places called BJ's.

I know two guys who go by BJ. It's their initials. It's you who has the problem, it seems to me, seeing something sexual in something that ought not to be.

Just in case you don't believe me, do this Google search:

11. My nephew and I have a running joke about BJs

Every time I visit him and we drive past the local BJs, I say, "Do they sell Hummers there? They really should sell Hummers." And we both laugh like it's the first time I said that awesome joke.

[Adsos Letter]

Seriously.

And people say TV has gone DOWNhill? :rofl:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

23. Ever see a TV show called

"M*A*S*H"?

Great show. One of the leads was a character named B. J. Hunnicutt.



Some people don't deal at a middle school level. That might be what's confusing you....................

[sakabatou]

25. You're spoiling my amusement.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

27. Damn, I'm sorry -

how can I make it up to you?

Perhaps a beer-drinking pussy would appeal to you?

[cwydro]

34. I've know several guys who go by that name...

and for some reason never had a thought about it.

[yewberry]

24. Brace yourself: Bunghole Liquors.

39. I could not believe that anyone would invest the large amount of time, effort

and money needed for a business like that and then kill it with socu a thoughtlessly stupid name. I don't think the lasted a year.

[sakabatou]
