But when it comes to starting a business, I do know just enough to identify a horrible name when I see one. And in this case, I’ve seen two.
I was on the road and I saw a truck roll past me. It was rather large, with a big white back and on the side was this:
Now…Do I REALLY need to be the one to point out that the word “Arborists” is disturbingly close to “Abortionists”? The truck was moving at high speed…and frankly, I think the number of times I’ve seen the word “Arborists” in print over the course of my life is under 15. So naturally, I assumed that this was some sort of revolutionary new door-to-door vag-vacuuming service.
I’ll be honest: I was a little disappointed with the work they did on the logo. Personally, I would have slapped a huge picture of a baby crowning with a big red slash through the center. Kind of like the Ghostbusters emblem…only way, way better. Then attach a flashing light and siren.
The back was filled with mowers, blowers and rakes…but maybe that’s still an upgrade over a clothes hanger. Granted, the truck was filled with Mexicans in jumpsuits, but hell, cheap labor is cheap labor. And why settle for over-priced RNs assisting when you can have your pick of the fence-hoppers every morning behind Home Depot for pennies on the dollar? What would Jesus do? Shit, I hired that guy to paint a house for me. There’s NOTHING that dude wouldn’t do for $50 cash.
The best part of a mobile uterus-punch shop? It makes protesting way, way more difficult. Hell, just throw a cattle-catcher on the front and switch to tank wheels and you’re prepared for any Jesus freak not prepared to go to the car-bomb level. In fact, it might give us a chance to see how dedicated some of these picketers really are. It’s easy to stand outside all day with candles and pictures of babies. Are you devoted enough to stand up to an oncoming truck? My guess is no. The ones in Rockland don’t even stand up to drizzle. They’re the exact opposite of Postal employees.
Now, once you’ve had an abortion performed by Mexicans in a truck, maybe you feel a bit guilty. Perhaps, you decide that you’d like to hold a tiny service for the tiny mass of cells scraped out of your snatch. And if that’s the case, I’ve got just funeral home you: the good people at Hellman Memorial Chapels.
First of all, their name details where Jesus will send you and your baby. Secondly, they’re Jewish, so they won’t give a fuck that you just flushed your kid. Unlike those judgmental Catholics. Man, you try to dip your balls in sacramental wine once and you’re on their list forever.
I actually kind of like the name Hellman for a funeral director. He should wear red suits, have a mustache, and laugh maniacally. My only beef with them is that they haven’t stolen the slogan “Bring out the Hellmans and bring out the best.”
