Hmmmm. If you were ever into hyper-offensive cult movies and pseudo-avian
lawn ornaments, then perhaps you remember the unusual address of "A
Trailer, Phoenix, Maryland."
As I recall -- this was decades ago -- the (fictional) residents at that
address, who assumed they were not on a postal route, where very angry
when a mail carrier showed up with a package for them addressed in that
fashion.
I thought Phoenix MD was fictional, too, but I was wrong about that.
Unfortunately for trailer preservationists, the mobile home in question (a
1950s model) was destroyed by fire before the end of the movie.
