    Oh, yes - The Christmas Tree Shop is local here - and they never have trees except fake ones leading up to Christmas!

    The local Staples never has any Staples (literally been there twice for that sort of incident)...one day Panera Bread ran out of bread. It's slightly irritating when you're craving a good sandwich.

    That is funny that it has no paper products, you'd think it was a stationary store!

    We have one here called Biz Store. You would expect office things. Nope, they have ethnic furniture and everyday household items.

    I can't think of any mis-named stores, but I have gone to KFC for a bucket of chicken, only to be told that they are out of chicken! And this has happened more than just one time too!

    How about Olive Garden? Not many olives and no garden.

    Sadly, there is olive oil in most everything there, so the "olive" part of the name is actually true. Which is why I can no longer eat there, being allergic to olives in any form!

    I shop at Jewel -- but they sell groceries! Not a diamond, emerald or ruby in the place.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    When I lived in Cambridge, I worked at MIT for a long time. MIT had a club for employees that arranged visits to various attractions and events. One time there was an announcement from them of a trip being arranged to the Christmas Tree Shop in Falmouth or somewhere in that general direction.

    I thought this was going to turn out to be a cute little New-Englandy craft shop, so I signed up for the trip. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it was another big cheap-junk store like K-Mart! I don't remember if I bought anything there or not. Anyway, it was an interesting expedition.

    Death thought about it.
