Some funny signs...
The following were taken from the "Backtalk" section of Machine Design magazine and supposedly exist at the location given:
Hong Kong dress shop: "Ladies have fits upstairs."
Japanese detour sign: "Stop: drive sideways"
Copenhagen Airline office: "We take your bags and send them in all directions."
Budapest zoo: "Please do not feed the animals. If you have suitable food, give it to the guard on duty."
Alcapulco hotel: "The manager has personally passed all the water served here."
Japanese air conditioner: "Cooles and Heates: If you want just condition of warm in you room, please control yourself."
Polish Menu: "Salad of firm's own make; limpid red beet soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; Roast duck let loose; Beef rashers beaten up in the country peoples fashion."
And my favorite......
Tokyo car rental firm: "When passenger of foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet him gently at first, but if he still obstacles your passage, then tootle him with vigor."

When my son was little, he attended a pre-school. There was a sign in the parking lot that said "A Brighter Child Learning Center". A sign a few feet away said "Slow children playing".

I've often wondered: Would they speed up if they saw you driving towards them?

************************************************** **********
Driving down the road, I noticed some scribblings on the dirty flatbed truck in front of me. Someone had drawn three arrows, Right, left, and down. The right arrow was pointing at the ditch on the side of the road, and read "El-crasho". The down arrow was pointed at the trucks bumper, and read "El-stopo". The left arrow was pointed at the oncoming lane, and read "el-passo". I had coffee coming out of my nose.

Saw this handmade sign in Arkansas - "We sell real fowl eggs". Earlier this week I saw a picture of a Hells Angel type biker with a T-shirt that read across the back - "If you can read this, the bitch fell off".

Driving down the highway the other day and saw a speed limit sign that said, day - 55mph, night - 65. I saw about ten other sighs just like this one on the same highway. Well, not ON the highway off the the side of it. it was about 3pm so i fliped on my headlights, and called it night. Drove 65 the whole way.
