Well, it always has been for most of the men I’ve known, whether they were in PA or not! 
[sub]Yeah, I know you meant the towns, but I had to say it. I just couldn’t resist![/sub]

Never, ever forget the towns of Cumming and Climax, Georgia.
[sub]what a waste of a 600th post[/sub]
Bangkok’s name used to be (in Thai, of course): “Great city of angels, the repository of divine gems, the great land unconquerable, the grand and prominent realm, the royal and delightful capital city full of nine noble gems, the highest royal dwelling and grand palace, the divine shelter and living place of the reincarnated spirits.”
Most westerners who visited Thailand found that a bit too much to handle, and eventually it was shortened to “Bangkok”.
Actually, at least around here in Detroit, it’s a major road. And ironically enough, going down I-75, it’s Exit 69…
My favorite: Dry Prong, Louisiana; home of the International Church of Circumscientology.
Saint-Tite, Quebec. That’d be the award for Best Place Name That Sounds Dirty But Really Isn’t. (It means Saint Titus.)
Then there’s Boul. Pie-IX in Montreal (pronounced penif, but it means Pope Pius the Ninth…)
You guys forgot a really good one:
Iron Knob, Australia
Also, somewhere there’s a town called Mianus. Pronounced like it looks. Those of us who have seen that episode of Jackass will remember Knoxville’s look of shock “There’s a lot of tourism? People want to come see Mianus?”
Hehe.

Also in Canada: Conception Bay, Newfoundland
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I live near the intersection of Seaman and Cummings. I’m told the signs are often stolen.
Ding Dong, Texas
Coldass Creek, North Carolina
Dead Bastard Peak, Wyoming
Maggie’s Nipples, Wyoming
An area of eastern Oregon was known until the mid '70s as Whorehouse Meadows. Now, I believe it is known as “Naughty Girl Meadows”. Evidently, the girls set up camp here to provide services to local gold miners.

Don’t forget “Felch, MI.”
And you know what “Grand Tetons” means in French.
There’s a town Aynor, SC. Not dirty, but sounds as though it should be.
I went to Hell, Michigan once for their “Mystery Spot” where optical illusions are built into funny shacks to make things seem to tilt and change size by comparison. It’s a great effect, and fools people who don’t leave the path to see the perspective change.
Aaaargh! You beat me to it, UncleBill. But betcha didn’t know that there’s a French Lick State Park in southeastern Pennsylvania.
It was a favorite camping spot for my scout troop when I was a kid. Keep your jokes to yourself. . .
Yer pal,
Zappo
Cox’ Corner, NJ
Skaggsville, MD
(I always felt sorry for the girls attending Skaggsville High…)

As opposed to those who go to school in Vestal, NY. And no, the athletic team is not “The Virgins”.
There’s Effingham, Illinois. As in, “Ham? We don’t need no effing ham.”
Sorry.
my parents happen to reside in LONGWOOD, FL.
Let us not forget the Grand Titon Mountains, literally, “Giant tits.”
Hmmm… there’s always Morehead, KY. Home of the Morehead State University Fighting Eagles, at whose games all the cheerleaders like to yell, “Morehead! Morehead!”.
Um… okay. 
Not to mention Baton Rouge, LA. There are so many obscene things that go along with a place called, “Red Stick”.
