Pebble Factory
quite simply, any prison where inmates serve their sentences with "hard labor". It's a reference to "breaking rocks in the hot sun" as described in "I Fought the Law (And the Law Won)" by the Bobby Fuller Four or the Clash, depending on what generation you belong to.
David Do-No-Good got sentenced to 12 years at a pebble factory (along with other things) because he sexually molested his very young daughter. It's unbelievable why anyone would do such a horrible thing like that.

Dale's army of Dick Heads got many new recruits when "Miserlou" was featured on the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack. Go to one of his shows while you still can. After the show he'll autograph your tickets. Onstage he plays loud, offstage he's really mild and cool. A real nice dude.

Jerusalem
a violence-ridden city that is considered to be holy, sacred and important to the three Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
"Jerusalem" is also a common chorus in some religious hymns. For instance, Billy rushed to come to choir practice and in the process he forgot to put on his belt. The choir was practicing that choral verse "Jerusalem! Jeh-ruh-sa-lem!" and Johnny was standing behind Billy and as Billy's pants were dropping Johnny was sing "Ya-loo-sen-em!".

Norwegian Wood
1. a tune by the Beatles that is notorious for possibly being the first rock'n'roll hit that prominently features a non-Western instrument - in this case the sitar. The lyrics describe the evolution of an extra-marital affair that John had that was now over. Paul sang the words. The title phrase is a play on phonetics - the line "knowing she would" in the lyrics was considered to be too risque for radio so that phrase was replaced by "Norwegian Wood". If you ask me, that sounds even more "risque" or at least funny to me!
2. what you get after a night of laying with a Norwegian woman.

1. in my college class of "Art and Music of the Post-WWII Era" one day our professor played "Norwegian Wood" as an example of the Beatles' contribution to music and culture. She explained the meaning behind the lyrics and then asked us, "Does anybody know why it's called 'Norwegian Wood'?". I think "Norwegian girl, woody...", then I start laughing. She says, "I hear some giggling back there!"
2. Garry laid a young Norwegian waitress he met at a restaurant. The next morning he woke up with Norwegian Wood.
