hahahaha... i see it but it is also one of spelling... the cities are
southampton and northampton... "one big ampton" being the joke... there's only
one 'h' in each of those place names and it is included with the south and
north portion of the names when they are pronounced... however a lot of people
try to say the names as two separate words "south hampton" in which they add
another 'h' that doesn't exist...
