I think Assacorkin Island is my favorite. That's in Maryland near Ocean City. Oddly not in Assawoman bay, but not far.

We have "TNT Creek", "Ape Canyon", "Misery Gore", and 65 places named "Mud Pond". A section of our town is (aptly) named "Purgatory". We also have "Poland", "Paris", etc as shown here:

Plus a million hard to pronounce Indian names like "Chemquasabamticook Lake" and "Chemquasabamticook Lake".

You may live in Intercourse Elliot but I am close to Climax here in Minnesota. We also have Intercourse here in Minnesota. Also, and most importantly for me, if not for others, we have Darwin. The town, not me.

I cant really talk.. I live in Horseheads N.Y. with other towns around here being "Big Flats", "Scaneteles" (Pronounced Skinny-Atlas) "Middlesex", "Bath", "Runovia" and also lots of fun Indian names... My favorite are the finger lakes named Kukea, Cayuga, and Cayuta.. Try keeping those straight as a kid.

Elliot,

Isn't that near Bird in Hand.

Not only is Intercourse near, before you get to Bird in Hand, one must go through Blue Ball, before finally arriving in Paradise. All four destinations are in Lancaster County, Pa. (Pennsylvania Dutch country).

Climax here in Minnesota.

And there was a highway fatality involving a driver from a nearby city, headline read:

"Fertile woman dies in Climax."

"It was published in a weekly paper in the northwest quadrant of the state, and I can't say what kind of repercussions it may have brought to the author but there must have been some. The town of Fertile, population 853, sits about 19 miles southeast of Crookston on state highway 32; Climax, with 273 listed residents, sits to the west of there on US 75, some thirty miles away. An elderly lady from the former small town expired in the latter, leading to an obituary caption in the paper that read, in bold letters: "Fertile Woman Dies in Climax." Probably the longest-lived journalistic gaffe in the entire state, and one that must have brought at least mortification to its author."

My wife rew up in Crookston and remembers this story well.
