    I'm surprised they haven't given in and opened a gift shop selling replicas of the signs - kind of a Santa Claus, Indiana for those with twisted minds like mine. :-D

    From Wikipedia (orig. article is uncensored):

    It is believed that the settlement was founded in the 6th century by Focko, a Bavarian nobleman. The existence of the village was documented for the first time in 1070 and historical records show that some twenty years later the lord was Adalpertus de Fucingin. The spelling of the name has evolved over the years; it is first recorded in historical sources with the spelling as Vucchingen in 1070, Fukching in 1303,[5] Fugkhing in 1532, and in the modern spelling F**king in the 18th century,[6] which is pronounced with the vowel oo as in book.[2] The ending -ing is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people belonging to the root word to which it is attached, thus F**king means "(place of) Focko's people."[7]

    Why change it? Then you become another invisible little place.

    Just get a decent ****ing sign and weld it to the pole.
