Intercourse, Pennsylvania, USA, also King of Prussia, same state. In Florida we have Christmas.
There are so many. Hell, Michigan; Belchertown, Ma; Big Bone Lick, KY; Beaver Lick, KY; Hookersville, WV; Spread Eagle, WI...
You didn't mention that near Intercourse, PA there's a town called Climax. Also, here in Indiana we have French Lick.
There is a Mr Peter Ness who runs a small Furniture Removal Company not far from my home. Emblazoned down the side of the van is the Company Name "P Ness Removals".
There were some hippies in California that called their company Apple Computer
And then we have the Danish town Bøgballe which in the neighbouring country Sweden (with very similar languages) means "homosexual penis"....
Picked some of these D'asses up at the Japanese market the other day.
We used to have an electrical supply house around here called Vee Dee Electrical Supply.
And there is a nearby fastener supplier called Uneeda Screw.
There used to be a product for sale called Voltaren Analgel (from "analgesic" obviously)
It is now "Emulgel"!!
For many years,a sign on a business near me advertised that they did "Televesion" repairs.
I wondered why they didn't have it corrected,but it was memorable,where "Television" wasn't.
What are these?
The second one is hilarious. The Japanese text seems to say "Tradefair Eating Area", but obviously their translation server had an error and they thought that the error message was the translation
McBryce.

The second one is actually Chinese, and says "Dining room". In this context it actually means a small family run restaurant.

Cool, then the text has a almost similar meaning in both languages.

Misleading thread subjects are dangerous to monitors and keyboards. Almost spit my coffee
Our factory in Korea used to buy parts from the 'Do One Ohm Resistor Company'. I kid you not!
Edit: and of course LG is short for 'Lucky Goldstar'
Inside old Goldstar TV sets you often found a sticker which said " Lucky HIPS". Prosaically it refers to the parent company of Goldstar and LG - Lucky manufacturing Co, and indicated the casing is made from high impact polystyrene plastic.
Korean Companies are actually very superstitious about good luck (I guess we all are actually
). Such things as company names and the ubiquitous wooden pendulum clock in reception.
Another example: Sam sung translates as 'Three stars'
On many invoices (fiscal documents) from Farnell here in brazil, when you bought almost any OpAmp (analogic IC) they came as "XYZ CI ANAL" (CI is portuguese equivalent to IC)... Possibily something about character numbers, but it happened several times...
Always made me think all possible jokes...
Unfortunatelly Farnell is closing here...
Knowing what industry drives internet traffic, you wonder if Intel was paying homage when they named their 14 nanometer technology CPU, the Braswell.
At work we used to have a van that when open spelt "Gay"
There was a lot of fuss around a photo that purported to be a train called the flying scotsman that with a door open spelt lying scotman with the picturte of the scottish first minister above it. It came out during the scottish referendum capaign. Apparently while the unfortunate spelling on the train with the door open is true the placement of the picture is not:
