Funny Town Names

[dangnewt]

In the thread of safest places, one of our non-US friends (Vindy500 from Denmark) got a chuckle out of the name of our safest city - Brick, NJ.

Anyone else have any favorites? Bonus points if ever lived there.

My two favorites in Massachusetts are:

Belchertown - named after Jonathan Belcher, a Colonial-era Royal Governor.

Chicopee - this is a city of 50,000 or so. If you want to get one of them going refer to them as Chicopee-ers.

We have Pilot Butte and I believe there is a small town called sh*tman(not really sure if i need to censor that?)

Intercourse, PA
Bird-in-Hand, PA

Both are in the eastern portion of the state, which (IMO) might as well be a part of New Jersey.

Spuds, Idaho.

This is not nessicarily funny on it's own. However, you can see the "Welcome to" and "Thanks for visiting" signs from the same vantage point on the highway. On top of that, there's a curve in the road (away from the town, no less). Gas Station, hotel, general store, thanks for visiting.

It's my favorite town, ever.

Don't forget Dildo in Norway or F*****g in Austria!

Boca Raton, FL means mouth mouse
I've always found Piscataway and Hackensack fun names

My brother in law used to live in Uncertain, Texas. The name had something to do with the difficulty that the river boat pilots had mooring at the landing on the Cypress River.
