I’ve taken a few pictures of signs that I got a chuckle out of and thought that you might enjoy: [This place](http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d140/aarontx/Rockport_153.jpg), was recently ranked the 5,349th most popular vacation destination. [This](http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d140/aarontx/Prague.jpg) is the side of a truck that provides outdoor lighting for construction projects and the like. Best Logo _Ever!_ And finally, [this](http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d140/aarontx/SDMB_30.jpg) is on the marquee of a strip club down the street from where I work. If it is refering to what I think it is refering to… Now it’s your turn, what funny or bizzare signs have you seen? ---

Oh, and no picture, but there’s a place called “Bangmi Smokeshop” down on Pike Street that always makes me giggle. ---

I haven’t stolen a sign since I was a teenager, but I might be tempted to recidivate for a [souvenir of Orlando](http://www.local6.com/slideshow/news/8183539/detail.html?qs=1;s=1;dm=ss;p=news;w=400). It’s no Hentai Sushi, but it tickles me, somehow. ---

I live about a 5 minute drive away from this one: [Big Ass Fans](http://www.bigassfans.com/Facility/default.asp) About an hour north of me here in KY: [Beaver Lick Christian Church](http://www.texaschapbookpress.com/magellanslog67/beaverlick.jpg) Across the pond in London: [Phat Phuc Noodle Bar](http://www.users.tpg.com.au/m_young/images/PhatPhuc.jpg) Somewhere in Arkansas: [Big Dick’s Halfway Inn](http://www.primetimersphiladelphia.org/Images/HalfwayInn.jpg) In the village of Fucking, Austria: [Fucking Bitte - nicht so schnell!](http://www.asylumnation.com/image.php?i=fucking) [related wikipedia article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria) Sign pointing toward the village of [Pussy, France](http://gerardhoen.htmlplanet.com/Alps/D0004.jpg) I will add more if my scanner becomes operational ---

There’s a park in Tweed Heads, NSW called “Faux Park”- It’s such a great name, but whenever I’m down that way I keep forgetting to take the Digital Camera with me… ---

[QUOTE=LouisB] No picture but there is a Big Bone Lick in Kentucky; there is also a French Lick in Indiana, IIRC. [/QUOTE] Yup, I have been to oth places! There is also a Floyd’s Knob in Indiana, and I always find myself wishing that it was the town neighboring French Lick 😃 . ---

When I was in Edinburgh, the sign that warned “Humps for 10 Yards” always cracked me up. Another one that comes to mind was the sign that pointed to a path for the disabled in a Korean park. It bore the legend “Way for Disable.” I’ve also seen a toy store called “Little Peter.” ---

My dad and I were riding through Kenab, Utah once when I noticed an odd sign. “Did that sign say what I thought it said?” I yelled, so we stopped and looked. Sure enough, it said “Testicle Festival” and listed the dates when said festival would take place. I presume the festival involved consuming the gonads of farm animals. ---

Wish I had a photo of it, but honest, there’s a greek restaurant in the east end of Toronto with a huge sign saying, “Parking in Rear.” ---

[In Newfoundland](http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/1787/dilnewf7qe.jpg). [Here’s an old picture of me at the parallel-universe G8](http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/9485/anarchist8te.jpg), near Osoyoos, B.C. (The rifle is photoshopped, but the sign is real.) Funny thing – there’s a historic property up on the mountain called “The Lawless place,” – because, well, the family that maintained it had the name “Lawless.” A beautiful area that sounds a lot more forbidding than it actually is. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/funny-strange-and-bizzare-signs/349894.md?page=2)
