Not really funny, but makes you wonder.

Signs in the Presidio as you were driving through the housing sections.

From some church bulletin's:

Tonight's sermon-"What is hell?", come early to hear the choir practice.

We are starting a support group called Single Mothers. If you want to become a Single Mother see the pastor in his office.

Tonights sermon-Don't let worry kill you, let the church help.

For those of you who have children and don't know it, we have a nursery downstairs.

The Fasting and Prayer Conference will include meals.

The sermon this morning "Jesus walked on water". The sermon this evening "Searching for Jesus."

The scouts are collecting alluminum cans, proceeds will be used to cripple children.
________
A preacher closed his sermon saying "If I had all the beer in the world, I would take it and throw it in the river. If I had all the wine in the world, I would take it and throw it in the river. If I had all the whiskey in the world, I would take it and throw it in the river." He then sat down, and the closing hymn was #365-"Shall We Gather at the River."

Here in Aptos we have a "Slow Senior Park" sign outside a trailer park...

In Monterey, there's a large yellow sign (by a light) on Hwy 1 "Stop when flashing".

Another road sign that reads: SLIPPERY WHEN WET

Actually saw a sign out of Dawson Creek, Alaska, where Milepost 1 begins, that read "paved road ends"; and it did.

It dropped 4 inches onto hardpacked gravel road.

In the town I work in they are trying to slow down speeders in residential neighborhoods by placing very wide speed bumps in the road-- they then put up a sign to announce it:
"Speed Hump"
Is this a command or mearly a suggestion?
