Mitt Romney / Chris Christie 2012
Dull, meet Boring.
The tiny Scottish village of Dull has reached out to the town of Boring, Ore., in the hopes of a Dull and Boring — but never tedious — partnership as sister communities, BBC News reported.
"It might seem like a joke, but this could have real benefits for Dull," said Marjorie Keddie, a community council member in Dull, which the Daily Mail reported has just a single street, no shops and a population of under 150.
"Everyone has been smiling at the prospect of the very eye-catching road sign this will inevitably require," Keddie said.
That could boost tourist traffic in both towns — especially Boring, whose post office clerk Helen Kilty told the Scottish Daily Record, "There isn't really much to do in Boring."
