There are some states in the country that should have their right to name their own cities revoked. I'm not saying the state with a city called, "North East" in the North West corner of the state is one of them. Not at all. Because they followed that name up with places like, Virginville, ((Motto: We don't rape you, but creepy murders are not out of the question.)) Blue Ball, ((Motto: At least it's not Virginville.)) Reamstown, ((Motto: Enter through the back, there's a wash when you're done.)) Bird in Hand, ((Motto: Funnier when said Bird in Bush.)) and Intercourse. ((Motto: (I'm not making this up.) Lancaster County is about families doing things together!))
When navigating the seedy back alleys of Intercourse, remember it's generally a nice place. You've just got to watch out for roaming horse drawn carriages. Horses are really great artists, and most of the carriages and portraits they draw are on sale locally.
The real appeal of the Amish country isn't just the silly names and picture taking opportunities. It's all about the... okay, you're right. It's just the names. When Amish people go on their Rumspringa if they don't come back with a humorous city name idea, they are shunned. For those of you that don't know what Rumspringa is, it's when Amish people turn 16-21 and decide if they want to be baptized or leave. They spend a lot of time using computers and wearing skater clothes, and decide if they like that better than the life they knew. Many are encouraged to listen to pop music and watch "Dance Moms" on television, so they understand that people outside of Amish country have no taste, and probably can't form words more complex than, "smush."
Thankfully they're wroong abut tht! Those showz r eductionbal n fun! Cheeze bed timez.
