   It's not a town or city, but there's a sign not far from where I live that shows the way to "Jot em down Road." I never pass that way without wishing I knew the story behind that one!

   I once had a co-worker who came from Embarrass, Michigan.
   
   Billy Joel is from Hicksville, Long Island, a suburb of New York City.
   
   Tina Turner is from Nut Bush, Tennesee.
   
   There is also Boring, Oregon, which I pass on my way to snowboard camp.
   
   In my home state of Northern California, there's a sign on Hwy 5 with two arrows pointing in opposite directions.  One points to the town of College, the other points to the town of Weed.
   
   I currently live in Hawaii.  On the island of Oahu, there's a town called Nanakuli, which means, "To look at the knees".  The story behind that is, in the old days, whenever you met a stranger, you were supposed to invite him to your home for a meal.  Since the people in the area were poor, whenever they met a stranger, they'd look the other way and pretend he or she didn't exist.

      I ran out of room on the other page.  On Oahu, Koko Head Crater has a legend; to save Pele from getting raped by Kama-pua, Kapo removed her detachable vagina and threw it into the ocean to lure him away.  That became Koko Head.

    My former town was called Sedro Woolley, that was odd.  There is also a George Washington town.

    There are many hysterically funny placenames in the UK, but my personal favourite, one that always gets a laugh, is Sandy Balls in Hampshire.  You just couldn't make up a name like that.
    
    And no it's not near a nudist beach, although that would be even funnier.

       Good one.  Makes me think of that song, "Tainted Love."  How unusual for a town to be named such.
