Badcock and Boozer
You ever see a sign or a bumper sticker you wish you could show someone else? Well, with this thing called the Internet, and handy little devices called digital cameras, we can share with the entire world. Sure, the entire world might not be tuning in every day, and that’s fine. Nobody expects that kind of saturation.
But if even just a few people see these pictures and laugh, snort, or smile a little, then my Internet work for the day is done. If they make up their own captions or ad slogans, then we’re really talking.

(and/or laugh at that choice of words)
I’m thinking Badcock should have sprung for a complete new sign instead of the one saying “Our furniture is old and dirty, but our ‘More’ may be worth looking at.” Oh and I’m pretty sure there is a Boozer Properties either around here or where I used to live, can’t remember. Check this one out.
SUre, replacing the whole sign might have been expensive…but wiping down the old section while adding the new would have been free.
When I was a kid I went to Boozer Dentist. It wasn’t his last name or anything, he was just going through a rough patch. We found a new dentist.
Badcock & More:
“Come here first!”
Boozer Eyecare:
“We always aim for the cavity in the middle.”
Awesome.
And reliable too, I’m sure.
In the same vein as “6 second abs” from “Something about Mary,” someone should open up a store next door named “Goodcock,” and steal all of their business.
Boozer Eyecare….impaired vision is our specialty.
…or,
Boozer Eyecare…specializing in double vision.
Nice work, everybody. I knew you’d come through with some funny stuff.
Josh - That picture you linked was an inside reference, but I got it. ;-)
MG - Good point. I didn’t notice until you mentioned it that the right section probably was added later.
The Boozer dentist. Ha!
Simon - Nice. In the gutter, as expected. It’s definitely where my mind was the moment I saw it. One of my co-workers was saying, “I don’t understand what’s funny about “Babcock,” and then she read it again and realized she’d been reading it wrong.
Jay - As reliable as a beat-up goat. ;-)
Charles - Loved your double-vision comment!
Mark,
Remember that real estate firm back in in our college days that had a guy’s name in it. The firm has since changed names. Remember the firm named Dick Longing?
I never thought anything about it until you mentioned it one day back in college. Every time that I passed that firm, I could not keep from laughing.
Do you still have a picture of that store there in Texas with a few letters burned out on the sign. With the letters off, it said something strange–actually naughty. You took a picture of it and put it on here.
*LOL* I love seeing signs like these… makes you remember them though..!
