Basically, you tell any strange street name you've seen.
No joke: I've been past a street called Plastic Plant Rd.

Once, I was going to a choir competition, and there was a street. A street named Farquhar. I love that. |

Once we were driving around town, and for a while, every street sign we passed had 'beaver' in the name. Canada's funny. 8D |

I think I saw a street on the news once that was trying to change their name. It was Hooker St. |

There's a street near me named Tenderfoot Lane. With some quick alterations, we have a possible fanstuff there. |

There's a road near my dad's house called "Long Road".. You can almost see the end of it from the road you turn onto it from. (yes, I know that's ending a sentence in a preposition, but I can't figure out how not to do that for that particular sentence). Near Holly's old house in Lebanon, TN, there was a road called "Tater Peeler Road". Rofflicious. THEN, there's the greatest road sign ever. It's not a street name, but it's great.. You know how you will sometimes have signs for North 23 and East 1428 for the same road? A road between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN is signed as North 321 and South 441. I kid you not. I'm-a have to take a pic of it when I'm up that way next month. |

Street Road. It seriously exists, and it's very close to me. I win. At life. The End. |

Canada's funny. 8D There's an entire TOWN named Beaver here in West Virginia (not to mention another town close to it has Beavers as its high school's mascot). You can imagine the jokes people make about that place... Oh, and there's a "Butt Road" I sometimes drive past that makes me giggle every time just because I'm immature. |

Not really too funny, but in a city near me there is a road with the same name as my last name. And I have a very strange last name. |

I think I have most of you beat so far... I'll give you the quote straight from Wikipedia. I know it's true, because I went to a party at a house on this road... Quote: The success of the film and its sequel led a street in Draper, Utah, to be named "Wayne's World Drive." Draper is approximately 20 minutes south of Salt Lake City.
I also used to live next to a subdivision all named after Olympic stuff (it was built around 2002 when the Olympics were held in SLC). The worst (or possibly best) was "Picabo Street" (no joke) |

Not really... I got married 4 years ago, and now my "partying" days are over. I suppose I am in a D&D Party... but that doesn't really count. |

I have no idea why, but that just made my day. Hmmm...I can't think of any strange/funny roads in particular, but I used to live near a "Spooner Street". A nice piece of trivia for Family Guy fans. |

Not really funny but the largest neighborhood in our city all the streets are named after stuff from Robin Hood. I live on Lord Fitzwalter which comes off Sir Locksley and Sherwood Forest. I have a friend who lives on the corner of Friar Tuck and King Richard. We also have a street called Fitzooth...no clue what that means. |
