    There's Intercourse, PA. It's right down the road from Blue Ball. I kid you not.

    And the just plain strange King of Prussia, PA..

    My hubby works in Cumming, GA.

    I had a teacher in high school with the last name Bates. Instead of calling him Mr.Bates, we called him Master Bates. Either he didn't catch it or he was really good at keeping a straight face.

    This wasn't a company or place, but when I was living in Hamilton, there was a sign that said "GIANT ERECTION" Apparently it's an annual tent event, but the tent part was in the fine print.

    Here are my faves:
    In Arizona, just south of Tucson along the highway to Tombstone, is (was?) a store called "Vitamins Furniture Gospel."
    I passed it in 1997, and had to stop the car to take a picture. I think it was a secondhand store.
    Anyone know if it's still there?
    Also: In upper Manhattan, NYC, two streets intersect: Cumming and Seaman. (Logical, logical ... )

    Every time I'm in Des Moines I keep wanting to take a picture of the billboard for "JPScrap.com" - although I guess JP's Crap would also be appropriate for a scrapyard.

    Yes, and let me tell you it is dirt blowing in the wind! I'm sure the post office is out of someone's house and there might be 1 grocery store... maybe.

    a friend had a foreign exchange student from Spain living with her and he couldn't stop laughing at the restaurant Chi-Chi's cause that's Spanish slang for tits

    That's pretty mild compared to the restaurants 'Pinches Tacos'--translated from Spanish to English is 'F*cking Tacos'

    My husband is from Two Buttes CO. it's about 20 minutes from the Kansas border and about an hour from Oklahoma so It's really flat, but there is "the mountain" it's just a Really! big hill with two buttes lol. The best part is his last name is Ausmus, said Oz-mus, so they would get phone calls asking for Mr. Assmus from Two butts. They just said "no one here by that name, sorry" lol

    Can't pass up Master Bait and Tackle in Bonita Springs but I contend they should get a liquor license and change the name to Master Bait and Liquior.

    Then there is Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky.

    That's because it's names after a place is England and that's how it's pronounced there. Like Worcester is "wooster." There are tons of them in New England.
