Planning a road trip this summer? I came across this article yesterday, Canada’s 10 Strangest, Crudest And Rudest Town Names, that offer some intriguing destinations.
I’ve only been to one of these Canadian places, but I have been to this one:
Here’s the back side (don’t worry it’s G-rated):
Postcard caption:
“‘Amish Seasons’ The Village of Intercourse, PA is one of a kind. From its name to the horse drawn carriages and quant shops, its and experience not to be missed.”
Postcard message:
“Hi. Well, we are really in Quilt Country. Arrived about noon but nothing is open on Sundays – it is hard to even find a restaurant. There are 2 JoAnne Fabrics in Lancaster so tomorrow should [it gets hard to decipher here] should be [unknown] by Wally the end of the week. Visit one.”
Judging from the incoherence of the message, I think the quilts or something about intercourse got to the sender’s head. I guess Intercourse does that.
If you are off to an oddly-named place, please send me postal proof!
Update! Thanks to Max & Co. Post – the message has been deciphered: “…so tomorrow should finally visit one. Should be home by the end of the week”. Thanks for the help as I wasn’t even close to figuring that out!
I think the hard to decipher part is actually two thoughts squished together: “so tomorrow should finally visit one” and “should be home by the end of the week”.
Also, FYI, there are quite a few interestingly named Amish towns in that part of PA – don’t be surprised if you get more Amish postcards 😉
