Fauquier County Virginia may not be all that funny by itself, but when the county name is used in a business name...

Massachusetts:

Athol: There's a lot of Athols in Athol.
Ware: Where?
Worcester. It's not pronounced "War chester," more along the lines of wuss ster. Or wuss sta for the Bostonian masshole folk lol j/k

The Massholes pronounce it Wistah!

I used to live in Deer Park Tx....lots of us called it Beer Park even though it was a 'dry' city. I still live within a 1/4 of it. Never lived in Point Blank Tx but have been there many times. Same with Cut and Shoot Tx.

I have a lifelong buddy in Deer Park.
