Lehi changes road name over sexual connotation
Fox 13, Utah ^ | 2 Jan 2013

LEHI, Utah — The Lehi City Council recently approved a request to change the name of one of its roads, and the reason might be a sexual connotation. The city council unanimously approved the renaming of Morning Glory Road to Morning Vista Road in a December 11 meeting. The name change was requested by a company called Xactware, who is constructing a new building on the street. Lehi City Council meeting notessay that the company requested the name change to fit with their "International Corporate image." In article from the Daily Herald, Lehi Councilman Mark Johnson says the company was concerned about the term "morning glory" and its association with one of its unofficial definitions. "Morning glory," as defined by the Urban Dictionary, has a sexual connotation. The Urban Dictionary's definition is a crude description of an actual medical phenomenon called nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT).

Glory be!

A veritable vista hole these folk are offering to their corporate overseers. Personally, I welcome my corporate masters!

Glory, er, nocturnal penile tumescence be, to our new glorious, er, vistivous saviors!

If you pee in the night, welcome your overlords!

Yep.

I guess that dirty squirrel Olivia Newton John was saying more than I knew with Morning Glory and the Midnight Sun.

Everything has a sexual connotation with people. It’s a flower, also a vine. Without checking, I will guess that there are roads close by that are also named after .......flowers or trees.

....or perhaps they just went ahead and named one Erectile Dysfunction Blvd....in front of an Industrial Park.

I thought it was only a “morning glory” when it lasts 4 hours or more.

Well, what’s up with Mr. Johnson taking this task under his belt. I live near Climax, Michigan. It was so named due to the high elevation between the east and west shores of Michigan. Nothing more or less.

Silly me! Until now, I always thought of morning glories as these rather attractive little flowers:

People are always adding 2 letters to the sign...

Apparently some goofball thinks Morning Glory means Morning Wood.

Good grief just because some idiot has a dirty mind now we can’t even name streets after flowers.

I used to work with a guy who could make a sexually suggestive joke out of about anything a person would say.

He was actually a decent guy and good worker but at times it got a little bothering having to watch every word you said around him.
