Name change: Thomas De Peeters Chevrolet*

Our recent trip up north provided a number of WTFotos, so consider this the first in a Wisconsin series. I see this dealership every time we visit and I finally got a picture of it. Since Anheuser-Busch began brewing in 1860, it is safe to assume that this man’s parents were aware of what they were doing when they named him. I have never understood why parents saddle their children with names that guarantee ridicule. As a child, I’m sure this guy was subject to an endless stream of beer-related teasing. Perhaps this was just the way of his parents joining their two favorite things: the new baby and beer.

*In case you haven’t figured the title, that is statistically the most common Belgian name.
