I am glad that at age 27 I am still able to laugh out loud in the middle of work because I am looking at a picture of a sign that says "PENISTONE"

in Wuthering Heights they go to visit Penistone crags
I've always wondered if this was a joke on Emily Brontë's part...she was a young Victorian virgin, but she seemed like a pretty cool chick

"Others evoke images that may conflict with residents’ efforts to appear dignified when, for example, applying for jobs. These include Crotch Crescent, Oxford; Titty Ho, Northamptonshire; Wetwang, East Yorkshire; Slutshole Lane, Norfolk; and Thong, Kent. And, in a country that delights in lavatory humor, particularly if the word “bottom” is involved, there is Pratts Bottom, in Kent, doubly cursed because “prat” is slang for buffoon. As for Penistone, a thriving South Yorkshire town, just stop that sophomoric snickering. “It’s pronounced ‘PENNIS-tun,’ ” Fiona Moran, manager of the Old Vicarage Hotel in Penistone, said over the telephone, rather sharply. When forced to spell her address for outsiders, she uses misdirection, separating the tricky section into two blameless parts: “p-e-n” — pause — “i-s-t-o-n-e.” "

I live in Titty Ho.

thats just awesome.
