I've been here!
In fact, it is only about 30 miles from where I grew up. And Virginville is even closer, being only about 5 miles away.
. No one knows exactly how it got its name. You can read the Wikipedia article about it here. One popular hypothesis, not mentioned by Wiki, is that townspeople called it that in order to offend the surrounding farmers, since this is in the heart of Amish country. I tend to doubt that, however, since you don't find any other nearby towns with "suggestive" names.

I took a photo of Liz beside this sign when we were vacationing back there in 1993. God only knows where that pic is now. If I ever run across it, I will scan and post it.
