Unusual, but sheer genius.

Nashville has a Pub and Laundry combined down near Vandy.

The bar back is a series of numbered light bulbs that correspond to your washer/dryer number.

Bar and beauty shop combo. If the beauty shop doesn't get it quite right, stay at the bar a little longer and they get better looking the longer you stay. :-)

Not a combination per se, but the funniest thing I have seen in the town I work in:

A strip mall with a sushi restaurant right next door to a bait shop.

In Miami, we had a sushi restaurant next to an aquarium place.

I always had the idea to open a gynecologist/dog groomer. Call it "Poochies and Coochies."

They are dangerous.
I was there on business for a month and went to that place to do laundry and get out of the hotel.
I got back to the hotel after a day of watching Nascar and realized I had left my laundry. :-)

We used to have a taxidermy and cheese shop. I drove by this weekend, though, and the "cheese" on the sign is painted over now so it just reads "taxidermy". Not sure if they still sell cheese or not, but it's a strange combination!

Edit to include pic of what their sign used to look like from the road: http://www.goodexperience.com/tib/ar...rmy_and_c.html

I did a long trip this past summer and ran into a couple interesting places. Some place in Wyoming, there was a gas station with the regular tire shop/repair shop but inside they had animal vacinations for your cows, horses ect. and almost a whole outdoors store that included guns, branding irons, ammo anything you could think of. All inside a little store about 2x the size of a 7-11.
