There's a "What Cheer" here in Iowa.

I know of a "Winner" South Dakota.

And one of the funnest town names that I know of is Kickapoo, Illinois :)

Truth or Consequences was originally named Hot Springs, and they changed the name in 1950 because a radio show called Truth or Consequences did a broadcast from there. See some other weird city names here.

In Maxim, I read there's a town called F*cking in Germany (or one of those countries around there)

Intercourse, PA I guess the post office there does a lot of business from people remailing adult magazines themselves just for the postmark.

Another funny thing about the town, is that back when Clinton first came into office, SNL did a Waynes World skit with the "Top ten things we love about president clinton". One of the was that he was from Hope, Arkansa and he was giving the country 'hope'. Wayne then said "Just imagine if he was from Intercourse, PA..."

Well I guess he gave the country some of that too :D

There's a hamlet of 13 people about a half hour out of town called Slutty Transvestite.
I went there once, it wasn't as interesting as it sounds.

Some towns are named after states. I think it would be funny to get someone drunk so they pass out, and then leave them by a sign that points towards one of those towns. For example, Virginia is a town north of Duluth. If you woke up drunk 20 miles from Virginia, don't you think you'd be confused if you knew you were in Minnesota the night before?
