Used to seeing Cityname, State. But today I saw Countryname, State with Jamaica, Vermont. Huh. Looked it up and confirmed that really is a town in the United States of America. Thought that was funny.

A few years ago I was surprised to get an address from a customer in Yukon, Oklahoma, which happens to be located in Canadian County. It’s known as the Czech capital of Oklahoma.
There’s two Canadas in America, but the bizarre one is like 14 Parises (but they don’t count here). Also:

When borne by the red, white, and blue.
