Funny Store Signs

Ok y'all, only because I have a down day here in Kumasi with fast internet are you getting all of these posts :)

I've been keeping a list of funny store signs I see here in Ghana. People like naming their businesses with something to do with Jesus/Christianity. Here are actual store names that I've seen around Ghana:

Your Desire Plumbing Works
His Grace Ventures
Grace Metal Security
His Love Hospital
Glorious Touch Plumbing
King of King Electricals
Simply by Grace Enterprise
Remember Your Creator Fashion
God's Way Enterprise
Riches of Glory Guest House
Touch not my Annointed Barber Shop
Joy of the Lord Enterprise
And my personal favorite...Mama Lucy Clap for Jesus

Shorter phrases are also seen on tros and large trucks, just as stickers across the windshield:
If God Says So
Bombastic
No Food for Lazy Man

I will keep adding to this list, but I just think it's funny that these random phrases are seen everywhere - Can you imagine if the mom and pop pharmacy down the street in small town America were called: "Mama Lucy Clap for Jesus Pharmacy" instead of "The Corner Drug"? :)
