    Some of these are rather amusing, some are not. Enjoy :D

    Don't click the link if you are easily offended or have no sense of humour.
    :rolleyes:

    Funny.

    These aren't street names, but some city names are funny:

    • French Lick, Indiana
    • Blue Licks, Kentucky
    • Climax, Michigan
    • Hell, Michigan
    • Paradise, Michigan
    • Blue Ball, Pennsylvania
    • Sugartit, Kentucky
    I'm sure there are many, many more.

    Blue Ball is only one in a lovely little series of towns in Pennsylvania. As you travel down US-222, you'll see exits for (in order):

    • Virginville
    • Reamstown
    • Blue Ball
    • Bird-in-Hand
    • Intercourse
    • Paradise

    Oh, even better for PA... Dix Run Rd, Julian is right near Bush Hollow. I had a girlfriend in Julian back in the day, and that cracked me up every time.

    Wow! There was a hilarious thread on TiVocommunity about going to Intercourse (PA) and included Blue Ball but eventually it started violating the site's rules and got closed and deleted. :(

    It's not a rude one but unique nonetheless

    Little chance of that here. We love mindless childish humor.

    Hahha.... over there, IIRC, the content had to be family friendly and I guess the thread got a bit beyond the bounds of that.

    Not a street, but UCLA has a "Hugh G. Dick" library. There's a plaque inside the building w/the name. Too bad I don't have a picture but maybe will take one the next time I'm down there. The school just labels it as the University Research Library.
