Tedster Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Well, sounds like you've pretty much covered it. What could we possibly add to that? There is a town in Illinois called "Effingham". So what? But it sounds to me like something you'd hear at a nice Brooklyn dinner Ay...you, pass me da effing ham. And, it was funny a couple of years ago when the Chinese got to name a typhoon. They named it "Longwang". "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sign Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 There's a village nearby that's named Lutjebroek. There's a small town in the Netherlands named Amerika.

Sylver Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hey! I live very near to Paradise, Blue Ball, Bird in Hand, and Intercourse, Pa. They are all on the same road (Route 30 if you ever want to visit) all on the way to Amish country, Lancaster, Pa. Who said the Amish don't have a sense of humor? I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennyf Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 There's a Mars, Pennsylvania. Not as funny as the others, but kinda cute to say you're from Mars. I've been near Dildo, NFLD.

Joachim P. Dyndale Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 The soccer field in Shrewsbury, England, is called Gay Meadow... Yes, there's a place called Hell here in Norway.

Mats Olsson. Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 OT: People have odd names too, the CEO at my old job was named T Kleverman - he might be a clever man but he's not a good leader (hence the "was", he lined his own pockets and a bunch of folks got laid off because of finacial difficulties. Yes, he got fired - with a nice parachute ). /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

Tedster Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yeah, I've driven down Big Beaver Road before. There's also a "Hell, Michigan" near Ann Arbor. As for names, the absolute best I heard (and as Dave Barry would say, I am NOT making this up)...a gynecologist (now retired) in Port Huron Michigan...named Dr. Licker. I shit you not.
