Things that sound dirty, but are not: Part 5
French Lick. Indiana, that is. Probably most famous for being the home town of Larry Bird and second most famous for being west of Paoli (also in Indiana, I am told).

Moth balls. Moth balls. If your thoughts immediately went to the picture on the left, and you wondered if moth’s have balls, you have a dirty mind. If you care about the answer, here is a wikipedia entry that may or may not answer your questions.
