    Dial 911. "Operator we need an ambulance at 324 This Street"(Porter's Lake NS.)
    Operator: "but what is the NAME of your street"?

    "Operator we need police at 629 Butt Hole Road!" (Yorkshire England)
    Operator: "no more crank calls please"

    Well it might depend how funny the street name is.

    Then there is the town of Dildo, Newfieland. 
    And Big Ass Lake Nova Scotia.

    There was a Goosemuck Lane somewhere I'm England which, it was reported, changed its name because local residents were embarrassed by it. But geese do produce a lot of "muck" so at least it has a sort of honesty to it.

    The Sydney suburb Elanora Heights used to be called Tumbledown Dick.

    I once lived on a street called Devil’s Balls Dr. They changed it several years ago but I don’t remember what it is now. You just can’t beat life in East Tennessee.
