Let's not forget Humptulips, Washington.

how about these Newfoundland place names- *****, Bung Hole Tickle, or Come-by-Chance - all actual places.

I'm from Ecum Secum, Nova Scotia - right next to Necum Teuch and right down the road from Mushaboom, just east of Musquodobit.

Wa hoo

 

I live about an hours drive away from "Sugartit, S.C." and about 15 minutes away from "No.3, N.C." and 1 and a half hours from "Batcave, N.C." No kidding!

And then there's Intercourse down the road from BlueBall in Pennslyvania.

North Pole, Alaska; where it's Christmas all year long.

 

Oddly enough - there is a developement/suburb down the road from where I bought property named "Peckerwood Point".

See what happens when a real estate agent drinks from a bottle with no label?

(It's true. I saw it on an area map!)
