Did you ever take a bath in Bath? Did you ever skip, hop, or spring thru a field in Springfield? Did you ever have intercourse in Intercourse? Went to Washington Crossing earlier today to see the reenactment of [Washington’s Crossing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington%27s_crossing_of_the_Delaware_River). My college roommate was from E. Bangor & his girlfriend was from Bath. She took a bath in Bath, & he…well, you get the idea. ---

I was between the lakes in Interlochen. While I was there, I also drove across town in Traverse City. ---

I may or may not have had sex in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > I may or may not have had sex in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. I think that one would only count if you _didn’t_ have sex there. :o I _tried_ to have intercourse in Intercourse; as a consolation prize, I got laid in Lancaster, which is only about 5 miles away but doesn’t sound nearly as good. ---

Nearby town name is Cumming. I’ve dated a woman from there, and spent many a night at her place. So…yep. ---

These are not quite right but maybe they count … I’ve been to Hell, Michigan. It seemed an apt name. I’ve gone in and out of the port in Newport. I’ve walked the long beach in Long Beach. Both NY & CA. I’ve been hot in Hotlanta, Georgia. ---

All of the towns I’ve lived in are strained at best. I’ve been to a wood by the lake in Lakewood, OH, if a well-groomed park counts as a “wood”. And my freshman year of college in Villanova, PA, I lived in the newest building on campus. I can’t think of anything for Cleveland or Bozeman. ---

I spent 20 years total in Tarrytown, including two six-month periods when I was hangin’ around, not accomplishing much, so, yeah, I’ve tarried in Tarrytown. ---

Kind of mundane, but: I’ve grown a garden in Plantation. Does that count? I’ve seen the sun rise in Sunrise. ---

Tucker? I don’t even know 'er! (And my college roommate was from Cumming. It was a platonic relationship though, so I can only make assumptions there… and we met in Athens, if that counts.) I grew up near the town of Santa Claus, but never celebrated Christmas there. I’ve eaten onions in the nearby town of Vidalia, though, shopped in Bloomingdale, and gone swimming in Pooler. And cut grass in Savannah. ---

I live in a town called Wooster (does not rhyme with rooster). When we thought we might have a home intruder, I took my son and left, leaving my husband and the police to deal with it. So I was a wuss in Wooster. ---
