You generally don't think about insurance companies as having a sense of humor.
Traffic safety is a serious subject, but State Farm Insurance researchers found some things to smile about as they conducted their work involving America's most dangerous intersections -- funny intersection names.
"Standing by themselves, individual street names aren't usually amusing," a State Farm spokesperson said. "But when they intersect with another street name, the two together can be pretty funny. So we decided to publish our list of 'The Five Funniest Intersection Names in America.'"
In reverse order, the five funniest intersection names in America are:
5. Hickory Avenue and Dickory Avenue where they intersect with Dock Street in Harahan, La.
4. Antonio and Banderas in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.
3. Ho Road and Hum Road in Carefree, Ariz.
2. Bland Street and Gore Road in Pueblo, Colo.
1. Grinn Drive and Barrett Drive in West Chester, Ohio.
"We suspect there are other funny and unusual intersection names among the hundreds of thousands of intersections in America," the State Farm spokesperson said. "We're hoping people will go to www.statefarm.com and let us know where they are."
The "funny" list was announced two days after State Farm, the nation's largest auto insurer, distributed a list of the 10 most dangerous intersections in the United States based on crashes resulting in claims by its policyholders in 1999 and 2000.
