I guess White Settlement, Texas isn't (shouldn't) considered to be funny.

On the October 14, 2005, City leaders announced a plan to have local voters decide on a possible name change for the town from White Settlement to West Settlement. In the November 8 election, the name change was overwhelmingly rejected by a vote of 2388 to 219.

How about Crazy Woman Creek, Wyoming?

The people didn't want to replace their custom stationary.

An FAA-operated VOR navigation beacon, named amusingly after this area, is located about seven miles (12 km) southeast of the creek. Crazy Woman VOR's FAA three-letter station designator is CZI.

Can't you just herar the controller asking a pilot to report Crazy Woman?
