If you've ever been to Pennsylvania, you'll know that this state is pretty normal. There's nothing untoward happening in this state, and things are pretty PG. But when you get to the smaller towns, you might start to realize that things aren't as they seem. In fact, there are two towns called Intercourse and Blue Ball in Pennsylvania. Of course, the founders of these towns never intended for them to be X-rated.
Back in the 1700s, these names were perfectly acceptable and focused on emotional connection rather than physical connection. But there's no doubt about the fact the names are conversation starters - just like the town of Humptulips in Washington.
