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.
