British Couple Moves Due To Street Name - Butt Hole Road
:D

<snip>

LONDON (Reuters) - A British couple have been forced to move house because of the shame caused by the name of their street -- Butt Hole Road.

Paul and Lisa Allott sold their $250,000 bungalow in Conisbrough, northern England after living there for just 15 months, fed up with the constant leg-pulling.

Taxis and pizza delivery men would fail to turn up, thinking their order was just a prank, and they grew tired with groups of youths posing for photos by the nearby street sign with their buttocks bared.

"I like a laugh, but it was beyond a joke," Allott told the Sun newspaper.

When I hear mention of the dish they call Spotted Dick the picture of a man with genital herpes comes to mind.

5. One man's meat, etc.
I don't think I'd ever get tired of living on Butt Hole Road. :)

I remember my sister moved to L.A. and wound up living on Easy Street. I was insanely jealous.

7. What were they thinking when they named that Street?
Well, some of us have British surnames and I keep asking myself what were they thinking.

My surname is a mans body part, my best friends surname is a mans body part, and my aunts surname is a mans body part and they are all British names.

10. When I read that story, I had a feeling you were going to post it.
I bet Beavis would love to live on that street.
