Ever take a look at someone's name, or a place name, and laugh? Of course, there are some humorous names out there, for both, like "Toilet" as a last name. Well, I don't think anyone has anything on England where this is concerned. What can be found in the southwest portion of the country? Why none other than Crapstone, which happens to be southwest of Crotch Crescent, which is a tad south of North Piddle and slightly west of Titty Ho and Ugley.

No, this isn't a joke. The best might be "Penistone" though, which is likely pronounced "Pen-est-en", but that's not what matters. What matters is that the sign says Penistone, and that to me, is hilarious.
