If the police pull over someone they think may have been drink driving...do they make them spell LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH
as part of the sobriety test? Even completely sober, I'd just say "Hell, take me to jail..."
Cheers! | |

Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave.

There is also Foleyville Texas... nothing very unusual about the name, but the population is 8. And yes, there is only one city limit sign. Deadwood is another Texas town. They have a sign that actually says "Welcome to Deadwood. Home of 101 very happy people and one old grouch!" | |
