In what seems a perfect match, a Scottish village named Dull is seeking to twin with the US town of Boring.
The two places have already declared themselves sister communities after a Scottish cyclist travelled through Boring in Oregon, a town of 12,000 people, on holiday, Britain's Telegraph reported.
"This could have real benefits. Everyone has been smiling at the prospect of the eye-catching road sign this will require," Dull community councillor Marjorie Keddie was quoted as saying.
Boring's local newspaper, the Sandy Post - why didn't they call it the Boring Newspaper? - , quoted lifelong resident Bob Boring as saying: "I think this is one of those fun things that communities do."
But there were some doubts as to what the tiny village of Dull could offer Boring, with resident Peter Campbell, who runs Dull Farm, admitting: "There are no shops or anything like that... we'd welcome any visitors that might come to see a sign linking the two places."
Why not join up with "Riverbend" as well? Then we could all be dull and boring and 'round the bend!
P.S. I also heard that this Austrian town wants to twin with this town in Michigan.
