That's a funny name. In Cookeville "Shake Rag Road" has degenerated into "Shag Rag" which is a funny name in and of itself (if you think about it in a perverted way...) |

How about "Booger Swamp" near Cookeville and Algood....
Did I mention the town of Defeated in Jackson County?
How about Red Boiling Springs in Macon County?
How about Allardt (pronounced Al-lert) in Fentress County?
How about Dunlap in Sequatchie County? "Dun-lapped over my belt" or the "Dunlap Disease" referring to waist sizes! Ok, I made that last sentence up!
I live in Putnam County and some who've lived here all their lives actually think it's "Put-man"....some are elected officials...guess that tells a lot about us!  |

Yeah, Penile Hill Rd. just off hwy 64 has always caught my attention too, Joann. Another funny one around here is "Geterdone Lane." Sure makes you proud to live in Winchester! |

Don't forget Defeated's "sister-city", Difficult!
And Allardt is the home of the big pumpkin festival every year!
Oh,and I have another one... "Tick", in Jackson County on hwy.85 between Gainesboro & Hilham...
