Family sick of living on Butt Hole Road
A South Yorkshire family have moved home because they are fed up with their address - Butt Hole Road.
Paul and Lisa Allot, who lived in the £150,000 bungalow with their two children for 15 months, got sick of people pulling their leg.
They say people posed for pictures outside their house in Conisbrough, many of them with their trousers dropped, reports The Sun.
And pizza deliverymen and taxi drivers refused to call at their home thinking the address was a joke.
Paul, 30, a lighting installer, said: "I like a laugh but it was beyond a joke. We've had people steal the street sign and it got to the point where I dreaded reciting our address.
"I thought it would be nice to rename it Button Hole Road. But it's easier to move than go through all the hassle of a new name with the local council."
However, new owner Peter Sutton says he's happy to live on Butt Hole Road: "I think it'll be fun and I know what to expect."

If I remember correctly, years ago, when my brother was in the Navy he was stationed in Maine for a short period of time. He told us of a small town named Intercourse...and you had to go through Paradise to get there.
To: Stew Padasso
How about "Gobblers Knob" NC?

It's near Blue Ball too.
Those Pennsylvania Dutchmen sure know how to name a town!

"I thought it would be nice to rename it Button Hole Road. But it's easier to move than go through all the hassle of a new name with the local council." Howsabout 'Clymer Drive'?

"911. Do You Need Police, Fire or Medical?" "I need police!" "What is the problem, sir?" "There is a guy outside my house mooning me!" "What is your address, sir?" "BUTT HOLE ROAD" "Your name, please?" "DICK HEAD." I resemble that remark!
To: Stew Padasso
No problem. We get a major American candy company to buy Butt Hole Road, upgrade it, and rename it the Hershey Highway.
