You know that Blue Ball, Intercourse, Paradise, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Virginville, Sinking Spring, Jersey Shore, State College, Washington Crossing, Jim Thorpe, King of Prussia, Wind Gap, and Slippery Rock are all PA towns ... and the first three were consecutive stops on the old Reading RR! (PS - That's pronounced Redd-ing.)

Were the people that came up with those for town names just clueless, or so horny it actually sounded like a good idea?

There's a guy in my corp (eve) that's from PA, had to learn all this because he's a fleet CO and i had to know wtf he was saying at least half the time.
