New neon mural lights up Uranus

The mayor of a US town named Uranus has unveiled a new neon mural wall celebrating its location on Route 66.

Located in Missouri, the unincorporated town has a population of 25.

The neon light installation measures 6m high and 16m wide.

It features icons from towns also located on Route 66 including the Blue Swallow Motel in New Mexico, Cadillac Ranch in Texas and the Blue Whale of Catoosa in Oklahoma....

Other popular attractions in the town include the Fudge Factory and the General Store, but Mayor Baker said there's more work to be done and the town will "continue expanding Uranus".

Kim Kardashian asked me to ask you if this is a joke.

No. I’m actually thinking of contacting the mayor to see if I can get on in some kind of investment opportunity.

He just may be on to something.

I think it would be funny if a world-class proctology clinic sprang up in Uranus ten years from now.

25 people make a “town” in WHAT universe? 25 people isn’t even a hamlet or a village.

They totally hype that too. “The best fudge comes from Uranus” is one of their marketing slogans. Great gag gift to order for someone.

I wish them luck on the expansion of Uranus. I hope that it’s pain free.

If the town grows too much they may need to make a beltway bypass for those who just want to skirt around Uranus.

This reminds me of the joke about the Starship Enterprise and toilet paper.

"some kind of investment opportunity"

Mr Haney has some fine investment properties he will be glade to show you...for a small finders fee to cover expenses.
