every day I drive buy a boutique called Ginger Box and I have little chuckle.

    We had a restaurant open in town and they named it “Second Wife Restaurant”, the logo was a fork and two spoons with smiley faces.

    It lasted about a month before being renamed to Taqwa Middle Eastern restaurant.

    Like I get wanting to share your traditions with the public but polygamy is such a cultural third rail it’s literally illegal. We don’t even have a large Arab Muslim population.

      Maybe it wasn’t a current second wife, perhaps the second wife after divorcing the first? Either way, poor taste. There’s a restaurant near me called “Ex Wife’s Famous Chicken”. It’s decorated all gaudy with neon pink and black. Can’t wait to see the for sale sign in front of that one lol

      Mmmm or the implication was that you could eat homecoooked food so good it’d be like having a second wife? Def an L either way.

      There’s a restaurant by me called My Second Wife. I’m not even sure what the situation is. It was only open a few months. Looks like it closed. It’s such a dumb name.
