You all know the place names that make you do a double-take. Intercourse, Penn. Lake Titticaca (I know I misspelled that, I just know it). I know you can think of more.
Anyway, some places are just exquisitely named, so much so you wonder why people let their children go there. I, being a dirty-minded bastard, have made a short list. Add to it if you can.

[li]Pyramids of Cheops.[/li][li]Valley of the Kings. (Just think on it a while.)[/li][li]Lord Nelson’s Column. (Freud. Pure Freud. I’m going to Hell in a brandy cask.)[/li][li]Grand Tetons. (Mountains. They were named by French trappers who’d been in the hills too long.)[/li][li]Grand Canyon. (Cheap, I know.)[/li][/ul]
And if ya take this the other direction, there’s a Temperance, Michigan just north of the Ohio state line. Who the hell wants temperance in an adult vacation?

Of course, all this is good, but in Philly, I grew up just of off Dicks Avenue. (No possesive, just “DICKS AVE”)
Oh My God… I never made the Stillorgan connection until now… BWAHAHAHAHA!
In Co. Cavan, there is a town called Nobber. Right next to it is a parish canned Muff. Every year they have parish festival. You guessed it, its called the Festival of Muff.
