I wish I could remember the name, but over a year ago I was in FL with my uncle and we drove by a store with name that seemed a tad inappropriate. I wanted to stop and take a picture, but my uncle is not the type of person that would find that amusing.

(like if I had been with my dad, he would've laughed just as much and pulled right over)

I always wondered why they chose the names of these two neighboring towns in PA, Blueballs & Intercourse PA. I’m not sure just who would want to live there other than the mayor.

Well...

*There is a town in NC named Climax

*A restaurant named Dirty Di*ks (sorry, cannot even bear to type it in ) and fail to remember which state...


On a more pleasant note, a tiny bar with the name:

Do Drop In.
