Not funny or interesting in and of themselves, but in Illinois,

 

San Jose is pronounced San Joas, rhymes with San Close.

 

Teheran Pronounced Tay Hair Ann

 

Chicago comes from an indian word meaning rotten onions. The area where Chicago was built upon was covered with the odoriferous plant.

 

The county and village of Winnebago comes from an Indian word. Fr. Marquette, in his diary of his exploration of this area, along with Louis Jolliet explains this is a word ... best not translated in polite company. It has something to do with the smelly part of a female person's anatomy.

Joe, Montana.

 

As I recall, it's a town of about 50 people who actually voted years ago to rename the town in honor of, you guessed it, NFL Quarterback Joe Montana! Gotta love folks with a sense of humor like that! [biggrin]

I grew about 30 miles from there! It was where the film 9/5/55 was filmed or partially filmed. there's also a toad suck ferry.

Nice area, my sister lived near Clinton Ark for the last 8 years of her life.. If it weren't for all the bugs and snakes and tornados and high humidity and mosquitoes it would be a great place to live...

Exactly. Try Galveston where I lived for 4 years. Look up heat and humidity and you'll see a map of the Houston bay! That's why I now live on the CA coast, had enough of that but AR was a great place to grow up.

Clinton is near Nail, AR and not too far from Ozone.

ARRAIJAN, isn't that right down the road from ALLEFJAN, Panama? [biggrin]
