No Kirsten, I believe you mean inhale. Snorting is done at a different rec area. /Ask Lindsey

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

In Lindsay's case I think that would be a public restroom... Tongue

I still get a chuckle every time I see Intercouse, PA

Intercourse, PA sits right between Blue Ball and Paradise, PA...

I think there's one that stands out above the rest. "Hi, I'm from Hornytown." Could you ever tell anyone where you live without laughing like these guys?

Ha - that's hilarious! Not many weird place names here but lots of weird people names. A good friend of mine has an Unlcle called Pain relief. It's custom for Samoan's born on the islands to be given names relative to their birth. There are lot's called holiday and midwife. Pain Relief is a name that comes with some pride as it meant that his mother had access to good care during the birth. It's a status symbol thing I guess. I wanna move to intercourse. Claire xxx

Missing was Rabbitt Hash, KY which is just over from Sugartit KY

There's a little town in Michigan just off of I-94 called Climax.

Climax, MI and Intercourse, PA should be sister cities. Or, the other way around.

I used to go to camp in Tuxedo, NC. I always found that amusing. This is close to where my sister went to princess camp (in Sweden you know!). I think its a pretty famous sign.

How I feel these days... This helps too!

I'm not sure how you would study for that exam, but I would avoid cramming. I did not just say that. Oh well, someone had to say it before Borat did.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

This sign is about 20 miles north of my house in Lisbon. Norway is where the New Balance factory is. And Poland is where Poland Spring water comes from.

I grew up just north of Goobertown, Arkansas. Shocked

It's a very "small" community. Another reason why Arkansan's have an inferiority complex!
