Electricians do it with a shock. saw this on a bumper once.

I actually considered "The Wirenuts" as a business name, but thought it wasn't professional enough.

Caselec-- No, it was another Acme Electric.

Redsy, In Atlanta there is a company called "The Wirenuts". I think thats a catchy name.

when i was going through my apprenticeship training, one of the outfits i worked for, used to send guys they didnt want, guys they laid off or got rid of for some reason, to an "imaginary?" place called "Down-The-Road Electric Co."... must have been a big company, cause lots of guys got sent there, over the years! i never found out their actual address, tho', although their are some contractors in this area, now, who might actually have been that company.

electure,

"Dolittle & Sitmore" I love it!!

There is a little one horse plumbing shop not too far from here, that goes by the name of "Leaking Plumbing". Does that count?

Oh yea, and a radiator repair shop with the slogan, "a great place to take a leak"

Ok, since we're diversifying (I've already made Bill mad once this week, once more, I'm banned ). There is a plumbing shop in DC named Peed Plumbing, and that's actually the guys name - what other profession could he take? I worked with an electrician named Shock - again, he had no choice, and theres a family of glaziers (glass installers) in No. Va. named..........what else? Glaze.

a company down south was called:

"Flameless Electric"
