Another Minnesota city. Remember when Jay Leno had that sketch about news headlines. This one was "Fertile woman dies in Climax". biggrin

I have an uncle who lives in Climax.
He's in the navy.
Cum to think of it, most of his family are semen. biggrin

With those kinds of population numbers and tiny towns what else is there to do besides have sex?

I find it hard to imagine a town with lower population than the building complex where I work.

LOL, the Board censored your link Jayhawk.

Bones liked it there a lot, there's a picture around of him. And they now make a lager called "Hell". They might want to twin with the town mentioned in the initial link...

LOL. A link to Wikipedia, even. biggrin

Apparently, the board software is a cultural chauvinist, disrespecting a perfectly normal name for a peacefull village. smile

Maybe (hopefully) Bones posts that picture.


LOL, Google Maps doesn't work, either. biggrin

On the way to my house we pass a sign to a place called Cut Hill, while in English it if perfectly fine, in Flemish it has a whole other meaning with cut = a four letter word for the female genital area. When driving past it my youngest daughter burst out laughing and said "Look they even know how boring it is here"

She has never been enamoured with the UK, and she can be very blunt about it too smile

Chucky, being local'ish, you must know that Bell End runs off Mincing Lane?

Re: Funny road signs - 11/23/16 08:22 PM

Ah, so the Flemish word for the bad English version is simply missing the "n". Got it!

Interesting that google's little yellow man is constrained
to "photospheres" in Germany and Austria.

It's not pronounced like the English "cut" but a good bit closer to sounding like "coot"

and a local insult is "cut wijf"

Funny how the first foreign words you learn are the swearing ones biggrin oh and the "f" word is not a bad word here, it's all to do with breeding and the "F" word and derivatives is from Dutch
