True story. I didn't know that until now.

Many towns have questionable names, as the people of Twatt, in Scotland can attest, however surely town slogans are easier to change than town names?
This may be why the people from Tisdale, in Saskatchewan, Canada, are finally admitting the fact that their town slogan, ‘The Land of Rape and Honey’, needs updating.
Rather than sexual assault, the slogan cites the harvesting of rapeseed which was a large part of the town’s economy many years ago.
However, after witnessing hundreds of giggling travellers stopping by the town’s signs to take humorous pictures, Tisdale’s Economic Development Office have created an online survey asking residents if they believe it is ‘time for Tisdale to update our town brand’.
Officials noted that both honey production and the amount of rapeseed grown have decreased significantly in recent years, and that the town’s slogan was created more than 60 years ago.
In the online survey (you have to be a resident of Tisdale to vote, so don’t get any ideas) officials include a list of possible new slogans, including ‘Land of Canola and Honey’, ‘A Place to Bee’, and ‘A Place to Grow’ (which could be construed as rude).
Our suggestion?
‘You catch more flies with honey than you do with chopsticks – Jarod Kintz’
You’re welcome, Tisdale.
I have zero urge to watch that show (Girls) just to see the Pilsburry Dough Girl prancing around pretending to run away from romantic suitors. Lena put the Frump in Frumpy.

From the story:
> He said the husband of the dead woman was also there and appeared very distraught.

All the county has stagnated, the only new employer of any size is Legoland, maybe USF polytech will grow some.
True story. I didn't know that until now.
