    I had a counselor in the US whose last name was D*ckman.
    Here in the Netherlands there's a 'Monster' and also 'Sexbierum' (which would kinda translate into sexbeer'em).

    Edit: 'D*ck' is also a common first name in the Netherlands. Just like 'Kok' (Cook) as a last name. We had a prime minister with that last name.

    Just outside Buffalo, there's a funeral home called "Amigone". I always read it as Am I Gone? :laugh:

    Almost every one of my relatives had their funerals there. :-)

    The people who own it do not see the humor.

    I remember driving to Florida (in Tennessee maybe?) and taking a photo of a sign that read "Big Bone Lick"

    And here in Ontario there is a town called "Kinmount"

    There is also a town called "*kitten*" in Newfoundland, and yes, they really do have "*kitten* Days"
    LOL Yep! That's a State Park...and I'm pretty sure you're correct, it's in TN. We were going to stop there, but they were closed for the season.

    Maybe I missed it, I can't believe nobody has mentioned Intercourse, PA

    I've also always thought Truth or Consequences, NM was a great name.

    I forgot to add the Fu King Smoke Shop in Farmington NM and Truth or Concequences NM which is the home of the Elephant Butte lake; every time we go there my kids ask me when we are going to the Elephant Butt lake. I have also been asked by my oldest son why they would name a lake after an elephants butt. lol

    I saw a truck go by the other day. The company name on the side of it read "WESSUC"

    Someone really should have thought about that name more thoroughly before they decided to use it.

    Oh, and there's a village not far from here called "Bullocks Corners"

    Oh Australia is awesome for this. Suburbs in my home city: Inaloo, C*ckburn, Munster. Not filthy, but just ridiculous sounding: Manjimup, Wooloomoloo, Mundijong. Terry Pratchett wonderfully made fun of us by calling two towns "Bugerup" and "Didjabringabeeralong".

    Wonderful businesses: IFAP. You don't spend enough time on the internet if you don't find that funny.

    Also: Schindler's Lifts. They make elevators. I laughed like crazy when I first found their logo inside one.

    Love the Aussies and Terry Pratchett is Brilliant!

    We used to drive by the Ho Hum restaurant all the time on the way from New York to Baltimore. I think it was somewhere in PA, but I don't know if it's there anymore.

    Now on the way from Tallahassee to St. George Island is the Ho Hum Campground.

    There are a couple locations of this in Salem, MA: Bunghole Liquors.

    Ahh, Bunghole Liquors. I can't recall how many of my friends have posted pictures of themselves ther eon facebook but it's more than a few dozen.
    There's a town in SW France called Condom.....very amusing when you're a teenager on a school trip there!!

    There's also a town on the German border named *****e.



    My personal favorite is Coxsackie NY

    In Austria there is a village named F*cking
    In Michigan, where I am from, exit 69 off of the freeway takes you to Big Beaver Road
    and speaking of Big Beaver Road, it changes it's name a few times, but at its junction with Van *kitten* road use to be a shopping center named Dykeland - the shopping center still exists but they changed the name

    Belgium (where I live now) has tons of funny town names, Asse, Kontich (Kont in Dutch means butt, but I read this in English and Kont ich- is definitely rude), and several others

    I'm glad someone's already addressed Cumming, IA. I have driven past it several times, but never actually stopped. It's a damn shame, I know. Do they have a Kum & Go there?

    When I was in college we went through Licking, MO on the way to my mom's house in Arkansas. My mom was driving, and I couldn't convince her to stop - and I didn't have enough time to get my camera and take a picture of the Adopt a Highway sign: "sponsored by Licking United Methodist Men"

    Many years ago, I worked with a small commercial real estate company and I was working with two nice women that wanted to open a garment business, so I was helping them located and lease a building in a warehouse factory district. Once all was done and finalized, they named the company....Two Girls & A Hoe!!

    It cracks me up thinking about much I laughed when they first told me the name of the company! Hmm....I wonder if they're still in business! :laugh:

    Where I live, not really the name of the business...more like placement issues.. there was a ****'s sporting goods next to a Giant grocery store. The Plaza signs had "GIANT ****'S"..... they eventually realized this though and flipped the signs!
