The Humor In A Name

I laughed recently when I saw that there was a Denver based moving company in criminal trouble for a variety of offenses such as overcharging, holding property hostage, forgery, and attempting to influence a public official (I assume bribery). Obviously that alone isn’t funny. What is funny, however, is these facts in view of the company’s name.

This is all concerning Mafia Movers.

Isn’t it a little amusing that a company facing criminal charges has the word “Mafia” in their name? Who’d have ever thought that a company called “Mafia Movers” might not stay strictly on the side of law and order.

I’m laughing, but then again I didn’t suffer the apparent nightmare of hiring these people.

Who knows, maybe they named themselves “Mafia Movers” to be cute. Then, sitting around, they thought about what the name implied and decided they might as well live up to it. Wouldn’t want to be guilty of false advertising, after all.

It’s just kind of a humorous situation, them getting into criminal trouble and having the word “Mafia” in their name. We’ve got to take our laughs where we can get them. I’m betting anyone who hired these people could use a laugh or two.
