The owner originally wanted to call it "Applied Industrial Development Systems," but some of the original employees convinced him it was a bad idea. Also, I am currently involved in starting up a non-profit organization to care for feral and abandoned cats in Kona. It's called "Kona Cat Care." Originally, the other founders were considering making the name 'cuter' by spelling it "Kona Kat Kare," but I pointed out that the initials were already taken. Seriously, being only one letter away from KFC is bad enough. Also, a friend of mine started a company that was a holding company, owning retail outlets with various names. But the name of the holding company is "New Directions". I told him he had better be very careful with his 'diction' when he said the name. He looked puzzled for a moment, and then turned white as a sheet. Apparently, he'd never made the connection before. Most amusing. But, one case was so good it is STILL used as a joke. There was a Cleveland, Ohio furniture store in the late fifties that was called "Sofa King." They advertised heavily, but only on rock-and-roll radio. There are still some tapes from back then floating around... "Other stores might offer low prices, but only WE can offer you prices that are Sofa King low!" This made the audiences (all kids, for the most part) shriek. And, it was the fifties, when there was no naughtiness allowed on the airwaves. Choice. Warren
