What does...it mean in German?

The town could make a lot of F---ing money if they just made a bunch of replicas of the street signs and sold them.

Of course, they'd have to sell them in the pubs, if they want the Brits to buy them.

Only 32 households? They ought to be sued for false advertising.

There's a Climax, Michigan. The standard joke is, a married couple approaches the highway exit -- the sign reads "Climax, 1 mile". Wife sez, "finally, we're going to get there at the same time."

Irrelevant sidebar... Michigan has Hell (well known) and Paradise (oddly, on the shore of Lake Superior). Also has Romulus and Remus, and has Montague, but as far as I know, no Capulet.
