I'm reminded of billboards I saw in Toronto some years ago for a chain
of Chinese takeout stores called Ho Lee Chow. That was a real business,
not a joke. Hmm. It seems this chain survived Covid: https://holeechow.com/

Back in the realm of jokes, I remember a fake book title from when I was
a kid:
Brown Spots on the Wall by Hoo Flung Dung

A real classic kid's joke, right up there with Rusty Bedsprings by I. P.
Knightly or Race to the Outhouse by Willy Makeit....

Oh my! It seems Rusty Bedsprings by I. P.
Knightly has been published as a real book:

And here is the mother of all fake book lists, most of which I've never
heard before: https://dan.hersam.com/lists/books_never_written.php
