Here in Toronto we have, among others, **Broadview** and **Coxwell** subway stations, and **Old Cummer** commuter-train station. What have you got in _your_ town? ---

We have street signs on the corner of **Hoxie** and **Sexauer**. I always find that giggle-inducing. Our train station is called **Big Timber** which, I suppose, could be construed as suggestive if your imagination is slightly on the overactive side. ---

Hm. You could probably do something lewd with Pie-IX if you thought hard enough, then there are the ninnies that delight in blacking out the A – ER in Atwater. Of course, these pale in comparison to the fact that for many years the name of the transit companny itself was STCUM. 😉 ---

Just between Tokyo and Kawasaki is **Shitte** station. Best of all, the kanji that make up the name are ‘ass’ (_shiri_) and ‘hand’ (_te_), so it works in both langauges. ---
