 
I live in a very interesting area, known as Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Around here things like hex signs (one of which is displayed at the top of this page) and Amish buggies are not uncommon. We call chickens "hinkels" (so guess what the annual "Hinkelfest" celebrates) and eggs are "gockies".
In addition, we have some very "suggestive" town names. It will make you contemplate just what was on the minds of these early PA Dutch settlers.
So, sit back, enjoy the relaxing tempo of the wind chime, and check out these towns along with the distance you are from them right now, at my home in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Oh, don't mind the smell. That's just cow manure in the fields.
| Town Name | Distance |
|---|
| Intercourse | 38 |
Paradise | 48 |
Virginville | 40 |
Blue Ball | 31 |
Fertility | 28 |
As you can see, when coming from the proper direction, Paradise is just past Intercourse!
Now that you've taken in those names, it will be easier for you to misconstrue these seemingly innocent town names into something less than respectable.
| Town Name | Distance |
|---|
| Puseyville | 63 |
Bird-in-Hand | 31 |
Bareville | 32 |
Mount Joy | 22 |
Mountville | 27 |
Lampeter | 31 |
Oh, by the way, PA Dutch folk are actually of German descent, not Dutch.
