KEN JENNINGS: Confessions of a Trivial Mind
BLOG

February 7, 2007

The world’s ten most unfortunately coded airports:

Perm, Russia (PEE)
Pocos de Caldas, Brazil (POO)
Butler, Missouri (BUM)
Sioux City, Iowa (SUX)
Samcheok, Korea (SUK)
Fukuoka, Japan (FUK)
Dickinson, North Dakota (DIK)
Sembach, Germany (SEX)
La Esperanza, Honduras (LEZ)
Princeville, Hawaii (HPV)

And that’s not even getting into the politically incorrect ones: Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Florida; Nikunau, Kiribati; Fagurholsmyri, Iceland; Punta Renes, Costa Rica; Kalakaket, Alaska; Woodgreen, Australia; and Aboisso, Cote D’Ivoire.

Won’t someone please think of the children? Write your congressman today.

(Edited to add some suggestions from reader porpoise spit.  Thanks!)
