Got this in my e-mail. Thought I'd share...

A number of years ago there was a proposed merger between Fairchild
Electronics and Honeywell Computers. Rumor had it that the new company
would be called Fairwell Honeychild.

There is a merger in the works involving Polygraph Records, Warner
Brothers, and Keebler. It will be called Poly-Warner-Cracker.

There has long been a rumor that W. R. Grace Co. was going to buy the
Fuller Brush Co. and Mary Kay Cosmetics and then merge with the Hale
Business Systems. This would result in the new mega-corporation Hale
Mary Fuller Grace.

Don't forget the failed merger between Yahoo and Netscape:
Net'n'Yahoo. It didn't work out because they were afraid they would
have to relocate the headquarters to Tel Aviv.

Others in the works:
3M & Goodyear = mmmGood
John Deere & Abitibi-Price = Deere Abi
Honeywell & Imasco & Home Oil = Honey, I'm Home
Denison Mines & Alliance & Metal Mining = Mine, All Mine
3M & JC Penney & Canadian Opera Company = 3 Penney Opera
Grey Poupon + Dockers Pants = Poupon Pants
Knott's Berry Farm + National Organization of Women = Knott NOW
Crabtree & Evelyn and Apple Computer = Crab Apple
Swissair & Cheseborough-Ponds = Swisscheese
Zippo Manufacturing & Audi & Dofasco & Dakota Mining = Zip Audi Do Da
