My girlfriend walked into the bedroom this morning and told me a joke she had heard:

"Trump wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico after himself but the Bay of Pigs was already taken."

Oddly enough, the Bay of Chickens is also already taken. (Blue Mesa Reservoir in western Colorado).

It certainly does not include "Nobel," but besides geographic locales sonorous with his vacuity and remarkable lack of self-awareness, I'm certain the collective genius here can come up with some great options.

Landfills and hazardous waste sites, for example.

Settling ponds for municipal sewage treatment plants, not to mention septic fields.

Did someone mention the "dead zones" in the seven seas?
