When you’re zooming down the road in an unfamiliar place, every once in a while you see a street sign that makes you snap your head around so hard, it gives you whiplash. Here are some that we’ve spotted in Delaware that classified as ‘things that make you go hmm.’ I apologize in advance for the puns.

Again with the violent names! But really, this one and the first are just old Delaware family names.

But your honor, I didn't do anything baaaaaaaaad. (My daughter and I laughed WAY too hard at this one.)
Like jumbo shrimp, this street name is seriously funny.

This one is my favorite. Skeeter as is 'mosquito' and neck as in 'a little water way or marsh.' It pretty much sums up the summer in Delaware, especially if you drive with the windows down.
All those in favor of going to church today say 'aye;' those opposed say 'neigh.'
