Growing up in Las Vegas and the things you just don't realize...

Funny thing growing up in Las Vegas... I'm talking to a customer support gal who, mind you, was pretty cool and troubleshooting my GPS device. It was having problems looking up cross streets. She thought it was because I had old maps. I mentioned it was only having issues looking up the second street, even by flipflopping street names.
So she asks me:
"Ok, give me two street names that you know are on your map."
At first, I was going to reply w/ some street names in the state I was in, but I'm so new to the state, I have no idea what crosses what. So I reply w/ the major cross streets in Vegas that I grew up near:
"Flamingo and Rainbow"
Without skipping a beat, she responds:
"Well that's kinda fruity."

I bursted out laughing... It had never even crossed my mind.

I lived near two of the two 'fruitiest' named streets ever in Vegas and never even realized it...
