You have to wonder why the bicycle was left there.Maybe someone was inspired to steal off to the bushes?
(For the full story, go here. Go. Go. You know you want to...)
I saw a similar article about this very same town, a year or two ago, and more or less forgot about it. But when my friend Will posted this one on Facebook, I finally decided to share it with y'all.
I'm not even going to add any smartass comments of my own.
No, really.
Thanks for your time.

LOL... that has got to be the funniest story I've heard in a long time...nick
ReplyDeleteLOL at 'Bitte nicht so Schnell@ ! You'd think they might decide to change the name if it's causing such a problem.
ReplyDeleteYa silly! I already knew about this one!-LOL! Und das ist "fooking", ja! You crazee Amerikans alvays mit the silly jokings-on about pronunciation, ach!
ReplyDeletelol. that is amazing...
ReplyDeleteI'd heard of this before. The logical results of a world with lots of languages spoken on it, I guess.
ReplyDeleteAnd Subby, according to the article the Americans aren't the problem - apparently we go up to Salzburg to look at Maria's alpine meadow. It's the Brits who are stealing the signs. Americans wouldn't take the sign - they'd giggle and take pictures of Mom and Dad and the kids standing next to it.
@Roy, sie haben ein punkte, ja?...er I mean, you have a point. And I think there's a few towns up north with some interesting names.
ReplyDeleteCinnamon: Sometimes people have the attitude of "Why should we change? You're the one who has the problem with it." My first fiancee's last name was "Horr." I'll always wonder if the reason she said "yes" to my proposal was the thought of changing her last name to mine.
ReplyDeleteRoy: "Americans wouldn't take the sign - they'd giggle and take pictures of Mom and Dad and the kids standing next to it." I concur completely.
Ok, that is the funniest story ever!
ReplyDeleteYup, it's all in the pronunciation. Love the abandoned bikes at the foot of the sign. Thanks for the giggles!
ReplyDeleteLOL!"for brittish it's all about Fucking"LOL :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, if you ignore the fact that it's the name of a town, some of the quotes are pretty funny, taken out of context: "We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed," "What is this big Fucking joke?" "Yet still there is this obsession with Fucking," "...there were no Fucking postcards." Maybe it is somewhat "puerile" to laugh at it, but I'll take my humor wherever I can get it nowadays.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time!
ReplyDeleteI once lived in a town called 'Hudson'.
ReplyDeleteYour first fiance?
ReplyDeleteIANO: Did Brits travel there to steal the town signs, too?
ReplyDeleteMegan:Yeah, my first. There was another one, later. I never married either of them. In other words, this turkey's head was on the block twice, but the axe never fell!
We have our very own--if a bit more formal--Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteOf course, this leads to the following corny gag:
Man: "What's the best way to get to Intercourse?"
Gas Station Attendant: "A lot of foreplay."
snigger
ReplyDelete....heh,heh, giggle...!
ReplyDeleteThere's also a town called "Blueball" in the USA...
ReplyDeletePssst! Uh, David...how 'bout this place?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Subby. There's my next post.
ReplyDeleteGeez, I quess I'll jump out right where I've jumped in.
ReplyDelete(still laughing)

Do Brits take the signs? Well, it wasn't me, honest. Funniest thing I've read since your last post hahahahaha
