Skyrattler..
 
Its great telling folks back home where you live. Don't get names like that back home do you.

I was tempted t0 move to Moose Jaw, name value alone.

I drove across a bridge over the Mississippi last week. Is that anything like Mississauga?

Someone will no doubt mention Dildo


(Oh, it was me wasnt it.)

I always liked the idea of moving to English Settlement Rd, or failing that the old Bastard Township, now Bastard Ward of the Rideau Townships.

English place names are just as odd. I lived close to Wyre Piddle, Upton Snodsbury and Pink Green. No doubt they sound strange to Canadian ears.

When we first moved to Canada I called it Missiwhatsit, my parents live not to far from Condom in France.
We spotted this road sign two years ago.
