Please don't be offended when you travel around this wonderful globe of ours! Just a good laugh will do.

Some city names have taken it to the extreme.
I wonder if the naming committee have selected their city name intentionally? ... to be memorable?

I live close to French Lick, IN. It is the birthplace and still residence of former NBA star Larry Bird!

To get to Paradise from Lancaster you have to go through Intercourse, if you make a wrong turn you end up in Blue Ball.

Is the hotel with the large domed roof still there? At the time it was built it was the largest unsupported dome in the US. Now you could probably put 10 or 12 of those in the Super Dome. When I visited long ago, there was a railroad siding where Al Capone would park his private rail car.
