Bring a friend to Climax.

Hee!

I thought Climax was a city in Michigan. It’s a city in Minnesota, too. (I swear I saw this before everyone else posted about it. I was just slow.)

Climax schools ban T-shirts with town’s centennial slogan

CLIMAX, Minn. — It may be the town’s slogan, but it doesn’t meet the approval of the superintendent who has placed a school ban on the centennial T-shirts that read: “Climax — More than just a feeling.”

About a dozen students wore the Climax T-shirts to school this week in protest, and one girl was sent home Wednesday for refusing to turn her shirt inside out….

Climax, a town of roughly 270 near the North Dakota border, adopted the “More than a feeling” slogan in 1996 for its centennial. The slogan was used in advertising and promotions, and the T-shirts have been around for years.

“When I wear my T-shirt, its a sign of pride for my town,” Tweten said. “I don’t really wear it to be meant in that way (as a sexual innuendo)….”

As part of its centennial celebration, a contest was held to pick a town slogan. Some of the other entries included: “No End to Climax,” “Cling to the Culmination: Climax Forever” and “Bring a Friend to Climax.”

“I don’t really wear it to be meant in that way (as a sexual innuendo)….”

Yeah fucking right.

Bring a friend to Climax. *snerk*

    I actually saw this on CNN a few days ago and thought it was pretty funny. I just don’t get how the school that is run by the city, refuses to use the city’s slogan….

    There’s also a Climax in Pennsylvania (and Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Beaver Falls, Beaver Valley and Beaver County). And they seem to be the most unpopulated towns in America. :)

    Every article I’ve seen (and I was sent a few links by one of the students’ moms) has used the phrase “turned a blind eye” which sends me into fits of juvenile giggles.

    I almost drove off the road laughing when I went over Little Squaw Creek, in Arizona, but only because I’m a language geek.

    And then there is the town of Oxford, Wisconsin, which, oddly enough, got its name from being at a spot where oxen forded a creek.
