Having just gone through the drama of the "One Island, One City" merger
we thought you might appreciate the following:
..........................................
A number of years ago there was a proposed merger between
Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers.
Rumor had it that the new company would be called
Fairwell Honeychild.
.
There is a merger in the works involving Polygram Records,
Warner Bros. and Keebler. It will be called
Poly-Warner-Cracker.
.
There has long been a rumor that W. R. Grace Co. was going to buy
the Fuller Brush Co. and Mary Kay Cosmetics and then merge
with  the Hale Business Systems.
This would result in the new  mega-corporation
Hale Mary Fuller Grace.

Don't forget the failed merger between Yahoo and Netscape:
Net'n'Yahoo. It didn't work out because they were afraid they
