    Yes, the UK has a place called Wetwang. I'd love to know the etymology of that one.

    There are a few other names of amusing repute, such as Netherthong, but that one takes the cake.

    You really have to wonder what the town fathers were thinking. I like this one, too:

        It's no worse than Blue Ball, Pennsylvania, I guess.

          Or Intercourse, Alabama.

            I know! We were up in Amish country on a shoot several years ago, and we found great humor in the fact that "Blue Ball" and "Virginville" were off in one direction (according to some signs we saw) and "Paradise" was off in another. "Bird In Hand" was there, too. I guess in response to all that frustration.

              And don't forget Bad Axe and Hell, Michigan!

                  I feel kinda left out. We don't have many town names that are all that goofy here. The only ones I could think of that would be funny are "Embarrass", "Moorehead" and another one that might be is "Brainerd". We also have a "Starbuck", but that isn't so much funny as coincidental with the coffee shops.

                  In doing a search I found one more: "Weird Lake", MN

                        In Alaska, there's a place called Tok.

                        I know it's native language, but back in the early eighties, I chuckled.

                            I can't believe no one has mentioned Dildo, NL.
