WHY?

When we traveled the midwest there were a lot of gas stations called Kum and Go. Why? That's what I'd ask myself as we sped past these places with such a strange name.

A massage parlor would be a better place for this name.

A little research on my part revealed that back in the 50's two guys got together and bought their first gas station. The K in Kum is the first letter of the last name of one of the guys. And of course, the G in Go is the first letter of the last name of the other guy.

What were they thinking?
