There is a man that frequently calls to discuss projects with one of our project managers and when she is unavailable the receptionist pages her. The caller’s name is Buster and he happens to work for the Acme Co. Ok, Buster from Acme. Is this dude from Toontown? “Buster from Acme is on the phone for you. He and Wyle E. Coyote will be dropping off those sticks of dynamite you ordered.”
I see two issues here:
1) Who names their kid Buster (besides the Bluths)? Enough said.
2) Who names a company Acme? Wikipedia defines the Acme Corporation thusly:
“The Acme Corporation is a fictional corporation that exists in several cartoons…most significantly in the Loony Toons…which made Acme famous for outlandish and downright dangerous products that failed catastrophically at the worst possible times.”
Because every real company name should be associated with something that makes “products that fail catastrophically at the worst possible times.”
