 ****ing in Austria
****ing in Austria
Austria is indeed home to a town called "****ing". (48' 03"N 13' 51"E)
Tourists are causing a lot of anxiety, and are costing money, to this tiny village where signs keep disappearing. What do the signs read? "Welcome to ****ing, Austria." Pronounced "fooking," the little hamlet of ****ing is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko.
The town sign has been stolen seven times in the last few months. With signs costing several hundred dollars a piece, much of the tiny town's budget is being spent replacing the signs, says Siegfried Hoeppel, the Mayor of ****ing. He went on to express his hope that further thefts will be avoided through the use of increased concrete and . . . bigger screws.
