When my son was 11, he was visiting family in Europe. He sent me a postcard from Condom, France. When he got home, he was happy to give me a bottle of cherries in Armagnac with the name Condom in gold letters. Repeating a joke that worked once is still fun when you’re 11. ---

In Wisconsin, there’s always much amusement when we drive past the signs directing us to the Bong Recreation Area. And there’s Milaca, Minnesota which is a very naughty word in Greece. My ex BIL has some pics of us standing on the side of the highway with him laughing his ass off. ---

When he got home, he was happy to give me a bottle of cherries in Armagnac with the name Condom in gold letters. Repeating a joke that worked once is still fun when you’re 11. What’s even better is that Condom is on the river Baïse (_une baise_, pronounced differently, is a fuck). Canadians will be pleased to note that both Condom and the Baïse are located near a village named Montréal (no relation). ETA: Wikipedia informs me that there is, in fact, a Condom Cathedral, formerly staffed by a Bishop of Condom. ---

I’ve always enjoyed seeing the sign to, “Big Bone Lick State Park,” in Kentucky. We stopped there one time and checked out the big bones. ---
