Scratch 'Harry Baals' off list of names for government center

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41480994/ns ... ?gt1=43001

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A former Indiana mayor who won four terms in the 1930s and 1950s is proving less popular with modern-day city leaders, who say they probably won't name a new government center for him because of the jokes his moniker could inspire.

Harry Baals is the runaway favorite in online voting to name the new building in Fort Wayne, about 120 miles northeast of Indianapolis. But Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy said that probably won't be enough to put the name of the city's longest-tenured mayor on the center.

The issue is pronunciation. The former mayor pronounced his last name "balls." His descendants have since changed it to "bales."

Supporters said it's unfair that the former mayor can't be recognized simply because his name makes some people snicker. But opponents fear that naming the center after Baals would make Fort Wayne the target of late-night television jokes.

    anyway, if you lie on the floor and look up at your monitor then you'll see what's under it.

    p.s. did anyone else do this with their TV when Charlie's Angels and other such saucy shows were on... i was about 11 years old and was convinced you could see down their tops... sex addiction rules!
