W had a pretty poor phone connection and he asked where I was, and without thinking I replied, "in the middle of Intercourse". I immediately tried to explain that it was a town in PA, all the while stumbling over my error. We turned out to be good friends but always laughed about it.

Wide road( but it was the smallest road I ever see)
The Netheralnds has some island and the biggest is Texel. There is De Cocksdorp (translation The Cocks Village) :))

Some explaination Cock is just a normal name in the Nederlands and Cock of Kok is also a normal last name in the Netherlands. It has an other meaning then in English.

A area in Lanklaar thats a place in Belgium is called Groot Homo wich means Big Gay in English.

We have a road in town called, "Guntown Road" I have no idea why it is called that. Runs by our local WM store.

Near where my nana used to lived there was a road called "Burnt Store". And yes it's because a very very long time ago there was a store there that burned down. So people would say go down to the burnt store and turn right.... well then the store distintigrated, but all knew that was where it was so eventually the highway dept put up a road sign: Burnt Store Rd.
