I think there's a place in Fance called Nancy.
Doesnt sounds so funny on its own but when you put them together...
Nancy, France...and if you add Fancy Pants after it...
:lmao :lmao :lmao
(its really an injoke, but it is a weird name for a place)
((O_O))
....I have...Surrey... O_o
I used to live in Surrey:
New Haw
Ottershaw
