Everyone was rolling around laughing while I was scratching my head going, hey, hand me the condom please.

I remember seeing a Japanese girl politely try to control her giggling when a German girl introduced herself as Ushi. Ushi is cow in Japanese.

Intercourse, PA.

A quote from Wikipedia sums it up:
Intercourse is a popular site for tourists because of its location in "Amish country" and its sexually suggestive name.

Apparently my middle name (Malo) means 'bad' or 'evil' or 'sick' in Spanish. I've never ever come across another person with Malo as a name. I wonder why...

Speaking of strange place names, here in South Carolina (where else?), we have some strange names for towns. A few locally include Cowpens (famous Revolutionary War battle fought there), "LA" (Little Africa, no kidding) and SugarTit (just a crossroads, really).

There also Climax Alabama, Hooker point Florida, Faggot hill Massachusets, Gayhead New york........

In Tongan, "malo" (pronounced maa LOW) means "Thank you".

On the island of Tongatapu, in Tonga, there's a village called "Puke".

It's pronounced "POO kay", and the literal translation is "sick".
The story goes that once upon a time there was a healing chief who lived there.
