> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GargoyleWB \* > \*\*In Bath, England we saw an advertisement on some construction scaffolding that said “Bath Erections” and a phone number. \*\* I saw that, too! Gave us quite a chuckle. In San Francisco, I was walking through the Castro district, and amongst all the scary leather shops there was a video store. It had a neon sign that said “Family and Adult Videos.” We did a double-take. 😃 ---

There’s a street in my town called “Squid Row.” Not amusing, but cute all the same. There’s also a sign along 101 an hour or so north of Santa Barbara that says “Pork Palace. Not open to the public.” I have no idea what that’s all about. ---

Two of my favourites- When I was a kid, my dentist owned an acreage outside of town. The sign at the end of his driveway, most appropriately, said: McMaster’s Tooth Acres And the other: one of the public road signs near schools, has an outline of a child running across the street, and says proudly under it, Slow Children Playing. Well - it cracks me up. And a lot of other people. ---
