Driving to work every day I have a lot of time to do nothing. The traffic jams up, and rather than get pissed off, I play mind games.
Here's one:-
A company here is called Sportsman's Warehouse. They do sporting goods of all types, however, if you want a good piece of kit you probably would go to a specialist shop. However, you can turn the name around - Warehouse Sportsmen:- Now this has a completely different meaning. It's a place where a sport of a difference can take place. Imagine the shelf packers racing each other to see who can fill his space first, or who can unpack the most boxes in the shortest time. Imagine the forklift drivers doing wheelies, stoppies, doughnuts... striving to reach higher than the next guy. The "order pickers", making a sport out of knowing where a specific product is shelved... The options are endless.
Now, the idea is to find other companies with names that can be turned around, and have a meaning in it's own right.

There's a chain of sports shoe shops in Riyadh, which I wouldn't even have used, let alone would now change it....it's called "The Athletes Foot"...
The Athletes Foot - or - the Foot Athlete... mmmmm, can think of some fun there....
