The folks in Uranus Missouri seem to have a sense of humour - they're launching a newspaper - The Uranus Examiner.
The Mayor doesn't like it though.
“No. I’m sorry. But the innuendo of that title puts my city up for public ridicule, and I will not be a part of it,” Hardman was quoted as saying.
Located about five miles from the city of Waynesville – which has a website containing warnings about the release of natural gas – Uranus has become known less as a town than a series of extended puns.Its tourism website states that “there’s a lot to do in and around Uranus”, and local sites include a fudge factory and a competitive axe-throwing facility called the Axehole.
In 2017 the St Louis Post-Dispatch described Uranus as “a strip mall gone delightfully, disgustingly wrong – or right”.

This was new to me and I couldn't find a subject thread where this would have fitted in, so I'll share it here... The Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society!
