The Houses of Humoring

Thinking on the Houses of Healing, my punny nature suggested one might easily build up a memorable roleplaying location on such a title of bombastic. I imagine they must've had quite a few neighbours, and if the Houses of Healing means hospital, then how about:

The Houses of Hurting   -  (barracks)

The Houses of Hailing   -  (diplomatic corps)

The Houses of Heiling   -  (we don't talk about them)

The Houses of Howling -  (kennels)

The Houses of Holding  -  (jail)

The Houses of Holing    -  (mines)

The Houses of Holing    -  (brothel)

The Houses of Holying  -  (temple)

The Houses of Hilling    -  (construction company)

The Houses of Housing  -  (tenement)

The Houses of Heading  -  (city council)

The Houses of Hedging  -  (casino)

The Houses of Hiding    -  (bank vault)

The Houses of Hiding    -  (bank vault robbers)

The Houses of Hiding    -  (tannery)

The Houses of Hi Ding  -  (where you go to level up)

The Houses of Heiding  -  (an Alpine cabin for little Swiss girls) (in a few years, merges with houses of holing)

 

While this might sound ridiculous at first, it wouldn't take much to implement it in an immersive and fruitful manner. All you need is a city council with a sense of humor. Then, expand upon this first impression and the expectation you've thereby planted in your audience's mind by showing those councillors as bad governors - or! - display them as competent in serious matters but still maintaining a sense of humor.
