Did you hear about the Palestinian sheep who took a vacation? They went to the Bahamas. ---

Back in college, a friend and I were hanging around and came up with a game that had a somewhat similar premise to what’s going on here. It too was geography-based, and took the general form of “Where are there the most XXXX?” or “Where are you likely to XXXX.” We ended up staying up half the night coming up with examples, many of them delightfully absurd. A few favorites I recall: Where’s the best place to detain a Cuban revolutionary? **Taiwan** Where are you most likely to be greeted by a nudist? **Buffalo** Where do most people postpone sex till the next day? **Baltimore** Where do you find the most insistent nymphomaniacs? **Laos** Where do you find the greatest percentage of bed wetters? **Yellow Springs** Periodically, the game (which we originated ca. 1972) has been added to in subsequent years. To wit: Where did The Ramones go to get suntans? **Punxsutawney**. Where did Bob Marley go when he took up hockey? **Mongolia** My favorite addition to the original list came from another friend when I described the game to him: Where did Roy Rogers retire to as he was losing his hearing? **Ft. Lauderdale** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sometimes-country-place-puns/685074.md?page=2)
