You have to admit, Americans are a clever bunch. And they often use that cleverness to put names on their stuff.
In my travels I have noticed: Give a Mainer a license plate with seven spaces and they will spend those long winter nights inventing all manner of vanity plates. And people who own hair salons seem to be in some sort of nationwide competition for the cleverest play on words for "haircut."
Of course, trying to be clever can turn on you. What the heck is a Hotel 6 or Motel 8 (or is it the other way around - I can never remember). Some banks are no better. The Fifth Third Bank? If you're struggling to decide if you're going to be fifth or third in some field, TRY A NEW FIELD.
