One of the churches around here has "Thou shall not park here" painted on the the red no parking curb.

 

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".

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.
