    This just proves to me more and more that my business partners were/are prudes. We started a bratwurst stand. I wanted our slogan to be “We just want our sausage in your mouth.” They voted it down because it was “too risqué.”

      Here in Germany we had an ad for a “Tiefbauunternehmen” / “civil engineering company”.

      The German name translates to “deep building company”. Their slogan: “Experten für untenrum” / “professionals for the parts down below”.

      I hope the translation works

      When I was in high school, the girls’ running team made shirts that said, “Fast girls have good times.” It’s been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.

      So, yeah, you would’ve sold a lot more weiners.
