The intersection of Beaver Street and Date Street in Jenks, Oklahoma. Nearby is a Kum & Go right next to a Subway.

I gotta be honest, I never found "beaver" references to be particularly funny. I guess I just never adopted that term for its colloquial meaning, so I'm not wont to titter when I see it out of context.

*giggles* You said "tit".

Nothing particularly funny about Brown Rd, except when there are two of them
'Brown St' is a fairly common street name, nothing funny about that name, just because the street is primarily named after the surname Brown, not the color.

That's what they said. What's funny is that it's the intersection of Brown and Brown.

I like every street that is also a pun, such as Fore St, Fir St, New Haven Ct and so on.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Penile Road:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Penile+Rd,+Louisville,+KY+40272/@38.110132,-85.7964272,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x8869104c4a0155e3:0x56aff3b03260bc1a!8m2!3d38.110132!4d-85.7942385?hl=en

I'm surprised that you didn't take the opportunity to walk your plot around the corner to this intersection and score a twofer:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/38.1089586,-85.7977146/Penile+Rd,+Louisville,+KY+40272/@38.110132,-85.7964272,17z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x8869104c4a0155e3:0x56aff3b03260bc1a!2m2!1d-85.7942385!2d38.110132?hl=en

It would have even more of a punch if there was a "Penile Road" blade to go along with the "Cummings Road" blade that's actually present:

https://www.google.com/maps/@38.1089237,-85.7977259,3a,75y,180h,70.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sFp7uc6VvE1QO7nJQSUxpgg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

So what do you tell people when you are giving directions to your house?  Hey take this road, this road, this road, and look for Penile Cummings...once you see that you know you in the right place.  :rofl:

So was the original called just called 'New Cut Road" from the get go?  It sure looks like it on the map of the area, kind of intriguing why it was called that when there isn't even an "Old Cut Road" anywhere in the vicinity.  And yes...there is an error on the map that briefly says "Old Cut Road," but the street blades disagrees:

That Buffalo Dick Road ( :-D) has nothing on the intersection of Kitchen-Dick Road and Woodcock Road in Sequim, WA:

https://www.google.com/maps/@48.1160153,-123.2001013,3a,75y,90h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sp8fz_vfwMzRf0cDEzlS4ww!2e0!7i3328!8i1664!6m1!1e1?hl=en

So what do you tell your friends and family when they are trying to find your house?  Keep straight on Dick, if you turn right on Cock you did it wrong.  :)

Several roads around Sequim have strange names:

- Galaxy View Ct
- Bon Jon View Ct
- Voice of America Rd
- Hogback Rd
- Fat Cat Ln (??)
- Gold Dust Ln
- Buttercup Ln
- Livengood Ln
- Many Feathers Way
- Frick St

Someone had a sense of humor that's for sure.  I ran across someone selling one of those Kitchen-Dick signs on eBay a couple hours back...I can't believe that I didn't grab a picture when I was coming back from Hurricane Ridge last year:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kitchen-Dick-Road-Street-Sign-36in-x-6in-Famous-Sign-/230667727110?hash=item35b4de3106:m:mbZ6Sq7sCXO59HLSU-eKCww

Apparently Woodcock can be had also for about $30 dollars cheaper:

And why would someone from Bellingham have multiple copies?...either it's a scrapper or someone jumping on the Port Townsend Ferry to jack some signs.

About 20 miles from where I live is the unfortunately-named town of Cumming, and since it's pretty common practice to name roads after their destination we have a Cumming Road that runs between us.
You take the high road, I'll take the low road and I'll be in Iowa before ye.

Spotted today in Boyle County, Ky., off KY 34: Old New Pike. (Yes, I got a picture).

There used to be a street in Mt. Vernon, Ky, that had the word "Negro" in it. I can't remember the name of the street, but it was on US 25 north of the US 150 intersection. The street name was changed before I could get a picture of the sign.

I'm pretty sure it was called "Negro Town Hill Road"

There is a "Super Chicken Drive" in Tucson.
