what about Wykoff..."why cough"? Remember that driving game you use to play as a kid in the car on the way to grannies house or down to the shore...reading things / signs backwards to occupy your time? Well we hit Wykoff... and It was my turn - I can still taste the soap!!

ok..this one always cracks me up - "Butzville". Of course we all pronounce it the correct way but people from Butzville say "Beauts Ville"They should do one in the PA Threads..they have some doozies! Intercourse, Blue Balls, Anus - once knew a guy who worked for an oil co. out of Anus and yes it was called "Anus Oil"... what were they thinking????
