Last time I was in Lexington, KY I saw a sign off the highway for Cox's Smokers Outlet. I assume the owner has a sense of humor. Also a liquor store nearby called Dick's Liquor, again I assume is a joke by the owner.

I have a picture somewhere of a gunshop that shared a business and business owner with a tombstone company.

I always laughed about it.

The guy behind the gunshop counter said he never worried about it unless someone bought a pistol then went next door to buy a tombstone.
