"50" entrepreneurial ideas

I'll never make a fortune out of writing, and although I haven't read That Book, I have to admire anyone who can drum up that kind of success.

Sitting here, trying to recover from my injuries (sitting is not easy, given the location of The Bruise), I mused on the matter of making lots of money, and came up with the following:
1. A lighting shop: Fifty Shades
2. A kitchen shop: Fifty Blades
3. A brothel: Fifty Maids
4. Its sister company (cleaning consortium): Nifty Maids
5. An arboretum: Fifty Glades

What do you think? Any other ideas?

    An elevator company: Lifty Aides.
    (And I know you say "lift" in England!)

    A hair-salon: Fifty Braids
    A tannery: Fifty Suedes
    A factory with a glut of Seville oranges: Fifty Marmalades?

    Oh dear. Here I am, commenting on my own post. But I've spent much of today in hospital waiting rooms being checked up on, with too much time to think. So:

    Hair Colouring salon: Shifting Shades of Grey
    Building Society: Fifty ways to Save
    Loan Shark: Fifty Ways to Pay
    C of E handbook: Fifty Ways to Pray
    Fashion house catering for clothes for May Balls:, Fifty Stays for May
    Pottery: Fifty Ways with Clay

    Please stop me, somebody. This way madness lies....

    Talking to yourself is also a form of madness I think! But if you have been couped up in a hospital waiting room, it's perfectly understandable. Hope everything checked out ok.

      Ah, but not too mad to notice your spelling mistake, Maggie!

    Careful, the paranoid national security types might get upset. People who have jokingly said similar things here in the States have gotten visits but strange men dressed in black suits with little earphones stuck in one ear.
