Well, I got my Monday laughs on Wednesday. I guess that is better than not at all.

Re:
I would assume, Vermont, no more than in any other town. Although, I have a feeling that the good citizens of Intercourse may feel some kind of obligation to have the town live up to its name! That may not be a bad thing, depending on who may want to visit there someday . . .

And as usual, Kabu, you're quite welcome! I hope that barrel never runs dry for me ( and everybody else ) . . .

Re:
And you probably shouldn't try, C C T! There are plenty of places here in the States with extremely unusual names that are just as hard to pronounce as they are to spell! And believe it or not, I actually never wear hats . . . ever! That was all written just to complete the pun . . .

Re:
Thanks, FSI. And I'm glad the storm wasn't as bad as they had originally predicted ( at least, not for us here in Jersey ). But, having a few laughs on a Monday is never a bad thing . . .

Re:
Thanks, chuck. As I've probably mentioned before, my mentor was the late, great George Carlin. I keep a notebook with me at all times, and sometimes I see, read or hear something that sets off my 'George Carlin alarm,' and my pencil springs into action. With a few twists and turns ( and re-edits ), I end up with the polished gems you see before you. I'm glad everyone enjoys them . . .

Re:
Well, Pat, I'd have to assume that it didn't make them bad people! No one has control over where they're born! However, this particular pun was based on towns and cities with 'animal' names. I've no doubt that there are plenty of other towns and cities with even more 'peculiar' names . . .

Re: Jimmy
Believe it or not, Naut, I had considered doing just that. I was already aware of some of the more 'peculiar' names floating around up there ( I was not familiar with the one you mentioned however ), but decided to limit that particular humorous pun to just the States. Perhaps another time . . .

Do you think there's lots of sex in Intercourse, Pennsylvania?

On song today Jimmy. I suppose bells were a kind of olden music and nursery rhymes were trying to reform the unhappy peasants. No I don't think many could pull the wool over your eyes , now I always wear a woolly hat if I can find it, but a straw hat in summer. How about chains on ghosts on the stage the poor wan creatures couldn't keep saying Woo hoo. Interesting all those places called after animals. They have some funny names in Wales but I cannot spell them.

I used to work in the Geography Dept. and professor Fred had a collection of geo-jokes.
He said he'd stayed overnight there once and pub research indicates there's an organization whose members are exclusively folks who were born or conceived in Peculiar, MO.

LOL! Good ones...But you should definitely extend your search to north of your border! You might, for example, explore Dildo, Nfld...
