People Say Funny Things

I was in the post office yesterday and there was a lady there putting a bunch of stamps on some wedding invitations. She turns to me and says "Are you in my ward or something?" I said, "I don't think so." Turned out she lives in Whitney and I live in Dayton so, I wasn't. Anyway, then she said, "I'm sending an invitation to Shotgun, Nebraska isn't that a funny thing?" I was like "Oh, yeah that's funny." Then she loudly said, "Did you know there is a place called Intercourse, Pennsylvania!!?" (I think that was the state she said) I was like "Yeah I've heard of that before." She said, " I sure wouldn't want to be from there. What would you say if someone asked you where you're from? People would think that was really weird!"
As I left I told her good luck with the wedding and she said that it's been a real pain.
Was that conversation just a Freudian slip, or was she sending me a hidden message that her son was having a shotgun wedding? At any rate, it gave me a good laugh!
