The L2G Garden Curmudgeon

Monday, September 21, 2009, 12:30 PM EST [General]

A rose by any other name...

OK, call my humor sophomoric, but I can't help but chuckle every time I drive through Funk, Ohio.  Funk is a small, unincorporated community close to where Wayne, Ashland and Holmes Counties intersect in NE Ohio. There is a general store (with many old-fashioned items you can't find everywhere these days), a scattering of homes, nearby farms and a wildlife area. 

 

The name of the wildlife area gets the biggest chuckle:

 

What can I say?  Yes, I'm like a 13-year-old boy when it comes to double entendres.  This past visit through Funk, I decided to check out the wildlife area.  It was certainly interesting... and odiferous.

The observation tower afforded a nice view of the countryside.

 

On the way back from my parent's place, I drove through Carrollton, Ohio to visit my Aunt Mary.  I couldn't help myself from chuckling once again at the name of the local funeral home:

Granted, this a bit more of a stretch, but Sweeney Dodds?  What's their tag, "the demon morticians of Lisbon Street"? 

Just wanted to share a little funny business on this dreary Monday. Garden curmudgeon though I am, the absurdity of life tickles me.

Looks like a fun place to visit to me. Good for a grin and also some neat atmosphere.
