"Blackpool" is an unfortunate name for a popular resort town.

 

"Hey, chaps, let's all go to Blackpool!"

"Why...what's in Blackpool?"

"There's restaurants and amusement parks!"

"Anything else?"

"Tea shops and gardens!"

"Anything else?"

"Beaches and boardwalks!"

"Anything ELSE?"

"Look, what are you getting at?"

"WHY THE HELL IS IT CALLED BLACKPOOL?"

"Oh, because there's a bubbling pit of toxic black slime in the center."

"Ah, that...makes sense."

"Over which they built a high-ropes course where you have to keep from falling."

"Really getting their money's worth out of the name, eh?"

"I got us two tickets to the high-ropes course."

"You -- alright, if I fall I'm dragging you down with me."

"That is perfectly fair."
