Britain is home to some pretty bizarre place names. Words that had a different connotation years – centuries even – ago. I believe there is a move afoot in the UK to change some of the names that have become ridiculous.
True story, a friend and I passed through Accident, Md on our way to Wisp, decided to take a picture of that sign on our way back. Twenty minutes later we hydroplaned and flipped his car. First car accident I’d been in.
Intercourse PA does, in fact, exist. Would you believe they changed the name from “Cross-Keys” to Intercourse in the 1800′s. There’s another place called “Scotrun” and if you read the sign on the highway going fast you can imagine what it seems to spell.
