Funniest name of a town near you

[Vexorg]

Nutt, NM. Population -- about 5.

I've been by there a few times while I was growing up when the family drove down to Tucson from northern New Mexico. When the town's most notable feature is the Middle of Nowhere Cafe, you can get a pretty good idea of the size of the place.

No one has mentioned Christmas, FL???

Or Chevy Chase, MD?

Frazier's Bottom, WV The movie "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton" took place here (but not really), but the opening scenes were filmed in WV.

Blue Ball, PA
Intercourse, PA

Yep!! I was just thinking of those two. Love Shady Maple in Blue Ball though
and the story behind how Intercourse got its name is really kinda interesting NOT AT ALL what one would think

You beat me. Last time we were there DH got a call on his cellphone. When they asked what he was doing, he answered--"I'm in the middle of Intercourse"

Better yet, there's a covered bridge between the town of Intercourse and the town of Paradise in PA. He should've called from there and then he could've told em he's on the bridge between Intercourse and Paradise. There's even a postcard out there for this bridge in PA.

Which isn't far from Big Bone Lick.

Actually, they are about 100 miles apart. However, Beaver Lick is just down the road from Big Bone.

Cut and Shoot, Texas. Pronouced CutnShoot.

To give you an idea of some of the other aptly named cities in Arkansas, there's:
Possum Grape
Smackover
