Looking at a map one nite for a ride up through Virginia when I saw:

Fries, VA. After I quit laughing I saw right below it:
***g, VA. Don't they have a Harley dealer in:
Dumfries, VA?

When I was in college, I went thru a town called Marseilles, IL.

I made the mistake of calling it "Mar-Say".

They corrected me.

It's "Mar-Sales."
