Oh, yeah, I know about Paradise. There are other interesting place names
there, as well. When I was a little kid in Lancaster, the whispered "How do
you get to Paradise? Through Intercourse!" filled us with indescribable
glee. We also appreciated the coolness of the nearby town of Blue Ball.

Today, of course, Lancaster's prior claims to fame as a one-day US capital
and, later, the home (though not the birthplace) of President James
Buchanan have been superseded by something a bit nastier.

P.S.: Per Toni's prior reminder, I've changed the subject line.
