Great question. I found this on the UGLY?s web site:

George V. Hart, Author, 1910 ? 1992

George was an electrician most of his adult life. He worked on projects all over the world. When his health prevented him from working, he decided to fill a need in the industry - a useful, pocket-sized, one volume electrical toolbox library. When he was a young man, his boxing nickname was "Ugly". He decided this was the perfect name for his book.

By the way, please feel free to keep the jokes coming. I am sure George would have approved. :grin:

I was told it stood for Uninformed Guys, Look it up Yourselves. :smile:

I used to wonder the same thing about Arby's, until I figured it out: R(oast) B(eef).

(However, they claim it stands for the Raffel Brothers, but what do they know?)
