Back when we lived in Chapel Hill, there was a movie theatre that was showing
Kiss of the Spider Woman
Plenty (with Meryl Streep)
White Nights (starring Gregory Hines and Mikhail Barysnikov)
Only they had them (and the stars) listed in a side-by-side fashion. So it read
Kiss Of The Baryshnikov
Spider Woman Hines
Meryl Streep White Nights
Plenty In Stereo
We decided that “Kiss of the Baryshnikov” sounded like a great horror movie.
In Bolinas CA, a very quirky little beach town, I saw a door with the stern label, “MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS ONLY”
I saw the following photo of a movie theater sign in a National Lampoon book in the 1980s, with the caption, “Never could trust those Fly Gods.”

My wife had never heard of him, either, something jogged my memory one night, and the “Why you here four hour?” came to mind, I had her look it up on YouTube, she was an instant convert. A very funny man, I’m always sad to know he’s gone, who knows what he would have gone on to do.
What I want to know is how the animals read well enough to know to cross at those places?
Because they are proud graduates of Whatsamatta U.
Pinette’s skill at impressions adds to the fun. In his skit about being “the boss of cake”, his impression of Brando’s Godfather was absolutely spot-on! And in the bit where he speculated that the reason English nobility had such huge lawns surrounding their castles was as a defensive measure because no army could cross such vast territory, he mimicked a frustrated French soldier halfway across the lawn to lay siege to an English castle pulling the ubiquitous French cigarette out of his mouth and going – here one has to imagine a very thick French accent – “this is bullshit!”. I nearly lost it! 
I’ve heard anecdotes in which people complain that the sign people chose a bad place to tell the animals to cross. I can picture that happening, but have seen no direct evidence of it.
I can attest to requests for duck crossing signs, together with regrets that such signs are nonstandard and will therefore not be installed. The signs are nonstandard because the FHWA and Caltrans only have signs for animals large enough to mess up your car and possibly injure you. A line of baby ducks will not do that.
Ask the right question, and get the best answer. The sign wasn’t what made it great, it was the crazy distance quoted.
How deer know where to cross:
It’s on Navajo/Hopi land so somewhat disappointingly it’s not about the musical instrument, it was originally a Mormon settlement named after this guy:
I once rented a hall for a party. I was about to sign the contract and pay $600 when I noticed the contract had “Non-Member” written across the top.
I asked if there was a discount for members. Yep, members just paid a $60 clean-up fee that was returned if all was tidy. Could I become a member? Yep, $25.
I saved $600 by paying a $25 membership fee.
In the 80s I went to college at Wayne State University in Detroit. Even back then the city was well on its way to losing population to the degree that large swaths of the city other than downtown, midtown and the WSU campus area were largely abandoned, desolate wastelands.
There was a local market / convenience store nearby the campus area called ‘TOMBOY’. One night I was driving by and I noticed that the ‘OY’ part of the neon sign had burned out, so the sign just said ‘TOMB’. I thought, how appropriate. I wished I had had a camera to take a pic of it, but that was well before camera phones existed.
Ah. the former Sun Devil liquors. Right next to George’s, the best gyros in town!
I never took a picture, but I remember “SEASONS BREEDINGS”
There’s a turtle crossing sign on the Dulles Greenway, or at least there was (I haven’t been out that way in years). It was paid for by a private citizen.
Official German road sign:
For those of us who don’t read German, what does it mean?
“No Parking - Violators Will Be Toad.”
Warning: Frenchmen ahead.
I drew a single-panel cartoon with that title, once. Takes me back.
I assume that’s a yield sign.
Krötenwanderung - Toad Migration; a warning that migrating amphibians may be crossing the road.
