So this morning I had to deliver some materials to a client in an area I wasn’t familiar with. After I dropped them off, I drove past a church.

At the corner of Avery and Beelzebub.

(It may be worth pointing out that “Avery” means “Elf Ruler.”)

A church on Beelzebub Road, though. Top that.

In Lancaster County PA, the direct route from Blue Ball to Paradise passes through Intercourse. That’s of course a classic. But what makes it funnier is that the alternate, slightly longer route goes through Bird in Hand. 🙂
