"Imodium & Lomotil Law Firm, can I help you?"

My reader Sue says she works for an attorney in Arizona, and that they regularly get letters from another firm with an, uh, unusual name. To prove it she sent in their letterhead and website.





I'm glad they're not in medicine. Because in this field having "loose" and "brown" in the same sentence generally refers to something else.

Their website is (obviously) loosebrown.com. I have to wonder how many hits they get from people thinking it's a site for copraphilia fetishists.

Thank you, Sue!

  1. This reminds me of the dentist I had many years ago, Richard Finger.

  2. My spouse and I had similar problems when we married. My surname was Brown and his is Harm. We were sorely tempted to just embrace the joke and have a sign that said "The Brown-Harm Wedding, brought to you by Imodium AD". Let's just say hyphenating was out of the question.

  7. The University of Georgia has the Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall. I always thought they should have just named it the Skidmark Building.

  9. I'm a black woman, and I'm a secretary. If I told people I was a "Loose Brown Secretary" they'd probably think I was bragging about being promiscuous!
