11-year old schoolboys around the world rise up in fear of loss. Tourists threaten to watch grass grow on Alps hillside meadows. Japanese tourists even more confused about what the big fuss is. Mayor Franz Meindl utters perhaps greatest straight line of all time.

The prank calls were the last straw.

The Sun reports that residents of F--king, Austria are set to vote on whether to change their town's name.

And just to be clear, we are dashing out the "u" and "c" for the sake of our more sensitive readers. This town bears the same name as one of those words you're not supposed to mention on TV or in the classroom.

For residents of this Central European town, it's been hell -- and that should not be confused with a small hamlet in Michigan that's actually called "Hell."

The constant sign-stealing and mockery from tourists have rubbed many locals the wrong way.

"The only problem is that we need all of the F--king residents to agree to the name change," Mayor Franz Meindl told the Sun. "Everyone needs to agree for it to happen."

stay safe.

That's ok, here on CY we have a town called "Occum". Do you know what they say in Occum? "F**k 'em!"

There are some complicated shortcuts to get to Occum, but the simplest route is usually the best.

That's even worse than the town of Intercourse in Pennsylvania. Even the guys on Top Gear made fun of that one.

That's an awfully long, complicated set-up for such a simple joke.

I used to live 5 minutes from Intercourse and drove through it twice a day back when I worked for Sikorsky. Intercourse is near Bird In Hand, Blue Ball, Virginville, etc.

Yea, early PA settlers were kinda perverts.

why don't they just order extra signs and sell them in a gift shop?

And would they even get many tourists without the name?

birdman · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2012, 01:19:26 PM »

Isnt there an "emergency pull out" between Intercourse, PA and climax, MI?

They should do a name swap with the next town over from Climax, Michigan

Went & looked to see what you were getting at. Then it hit me!

In my defense, I've just gotten up from my after-lunch nap. (Yes, we retired folks take naps - it takes a lot of energy out of a person to sit and do nothing all day.

)

stay safe.

Climax, MI is 20 minutes from Paw Paw, MI

Hah. I had my nap and was back at full bore retired mental accuity.

Colon, (Mi.) blows and Hell, (Mi) is so F**cking (Austria) hot, no amount of Paw Paw'ing (Mi.) will get you to Climax, (Mi.) But you can go north and cross da bridge and visit Paradise, (Mi.)

Obviously, no women were involved in the naming of these places as there is no Foreplay.

Close -- it's a river. Back around 1983 (or so), the major bridge on I-95 that collapsed was the Mianus River bridge.

Looks to me like the "L" was doctored jes' a wee bit, though.

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

Prices seem reasonable enough that even the Secret Service wouldn't argue
