    I've heard of this place, too. I've also heard of the town it was 
named after, a small town near one of our USAF bases in Turkey. It seems
most of my friends that did a remote tour there seemed to lose a grasp
on their sanity before they could return stateside.

  "Where've ya been, John?"
    "Oh, I got stuck in Bum Fuck, Turkey, where the women are men and
     the toilet paper's non-existent! Man, even the cooks in the best
     eateries use their hand to wipe. Thank God for JD's, it was the only
     way to keep my guts clean!"
 "Man, that's sick!"
    "No, that's Bum Fuck, Turkey!"
