Road trip

No Indiana community makes this list of "24 of the Funniest Town Names in America." That may be because he chose names he could make a story out of, as in this section:

"Pulling myself together, I grabbed breakfast in Oatmeal, Texas, lunch in Sandwich, Massachusetts, and dessert in Pie Town, New Mexico. I should've stopped eating after Greasy, Oklahoma, because I was feeling pretty sick by the time I left Lick Skillet, Tennessee..."

Maybe it's harder to make a story out of them, but for sheer amusement value, I'll take Floyds Knobs or Toad Hop or Gnaw Bone or French Lick any day. I think we have towns with interesting names, too, like Battleground and Economy and Judyville and Lapel.
