The funny thing is, no one knows for certain how Intercourse, PA got its name.

Screw publisher Al Goldstein (with his wry sense of humor I guess) had the newspaper mailed so that they would have an "Intercourse" postmark.

For some reason, most films and TV shows, when they want a funny-sounding town name often choose Poughkeepsie (New York) near where my wife happens to be from by the way.

Even music stars too. During banter between John and Cass at Monterey, Poughkeepsie was mentioned.

In Georgia, we have a town called "Between". It's a lot of fun to call someone and tell them you're in Between.

I remember driving through Normal, Illinois once.... I guess that's where everything is status quo???

I went through there on my way from Springfield to Chicago on the train, Melibee..... didn't see anybody with two heads or three eyes, so I guess the place is aptly named!!
