Sophisticated humor from the Land of Opportunity. Been by there, Becky? My grandparents lived near Indian Hollow in Grafton, OH, perhaps one of the northern most “hollows” in the US. > **[Booger Hollow and the Double-Decker Outhouse – Legends of America](https://www.legendsofamerica.com/ar-boogerhollow/)** > > Booger Hollow, Arkansas was once a popular tourist attraction along the Scenic 7 Byway. Its main attraction was and is its two-story outhouse. https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.6131838,-93.0612001&z=18&output=embed&dg=ntvb&q=35%C2%B036%2747.7%22N%2B93%C2%B003%2740.5%22W Dennis ---

Theres a place called Cooter, Ark. I live close-ish to Ogemaw, Ark. A creek system around here is Big Creek as opposed to Little Creek. Two Bayou is a bayou here. Don’t know where One Bayou is. ---

The town of [Weed, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weed,_California) is the butt of jokes for obvious reasons, although it was in fact named after a person. A lot of small towns in California tend to have fairly “colorful” names, particularly ones founded during the Gold Rush era, albeit perhaps not funny ones in the same sense as the OP. Just in my area I can think of Cool, Rescue, and Fair Play. ---

Years ago there was a billboard on Rt 30 near Mansfield, Ohio with a huge 3-D nose on it. Lord knows what it was advertising. Anyway, someone climbed up there and hung a large beige, partially filled, garbage bag from one nostril. I hung down like dripping snot. It was freakin awesome. Many years after that I was driving by a salvage yard in the area and there was the nose! Dennis ---

My choir director in high school came from [Bald Knob, Arkansas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_Knob,_Arkansas). His strategy was to heavily imply the obvious joke in a way that made it lame to actually spell it out. ---

I live straddling 2 counties. Ouachita co.(pronounced wash it all). I call it Oh-shitty. And Nevada co., I’ve been told we pronounced it incorrectly. The middle syllable is A as in Abe. Then there’s Calhoun co. down the road. Locally known as Hog-skin county. My favorite name of a town is Blue-eye, Ar across the border from Blue-eye, Mo. ---

There are two towns in Scotland, one in Shetland, one in Orkney. Both towns are named Twatt. Neither town has ever been represented in the House of Lords. This is a grave injustice. ---
