What's in a name?
old but good...

In the wake of the Exxon/Mobil deal and the AOL/Time Warner implode, several other mergers have been suggested. Watch for these consolidations in 2005:

1. Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W.R.Grace Co. will merge and become: Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace

2. Polygram Records, Warner Brothers, and Zesta Crackers join forces and become: Poly, Warner Cracker.
3. 3M will merge with Goodyear and issue forth as: MMM-Good

4. Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco, and Dakota Mining will merge and become: ZipAudiDoDa.

5. FedEx is expected to join its major competitor, UPS, and become: FedUP.

6. Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers will become: Fairwell Honeychild.

7. Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become: Poupon Pants.

8. Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women will become: Knott NOW!

1. Did you hear about the Wurlitzer/Xerox merger?
They're planning on making reproductive organs.

Or what about Cunard and Air Lingus? They still haven't decided on a name.
