This is WAY better than smoking policies.

Try this lake's name.

Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg


Indian word meaning "the boundary lake" (MGB, 1932) and "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fishes in the middle." (US-T121). In 1642, Woodward and Saffery, the first surveyors of the Mass. Bay Colony, called it "The Great Pond." In 1645, Conn. Gov. John Winthrop called it "The Lakes of Quabage." After a 1707 survey, John Chandler recorded the name as "Chaubunnagungamoug." According to Wise Owl, chief of the Chaubunagungamaug band of Nipmucks, Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg was an Indian word for a neutral fishing place near a boundary - a meeting and fishing spot shared by several Indian tribes. A more popular, and some say, fanciful, interpretation is that it meant "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fishes in the middle".

Hahahaha!! You all are nuts!!:hammer: How did you guys get from smoking policy to Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg? :lol:

It must be the sound you make when choking on cigarette smoke. No better yet, its the sound a smoker makes when clearing their throat, it really breaks up all that phlem. :lol:
