It’s not always a particular sign that’s funny – sometimes it’s the juxtaposition.

[These two](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Misc&pic=Misc016.JPG&picindex=15) are in front of our local Wal-Mart. I’d like to think that the guy put in charge of putting these up spent the entire time thinking _“Bureaucratic morons…”_.

But Fish Cheer, that sign was in Utah, which is also known as the “Sunday School State.”

Or is there something I don’t know about Utah?

[This one](http://www.scifidimensions.com/Apr00/oddities_jesus_japan.htm) was always notable, I thought. Along with [a related sign](http://web.archive.org/web/20010603122544/http://japan.co.jp/~jesus/christcoke.gif) that says, I’m told, “Coca-Cola Presents the Tomb of Christ.”

I was amused to come across a road sign in England that read “Change Of Priorities.” It sounded so IMPORTANT!

[This sign](http://www.mortalwombat.com/Image/lovepole.jpg) was posted in a local Albertson’s grocery a couple of years ago. A friend of mine snapped a photo of the sign and emailed it to his sweetie as a Valentine card.

[QUOTE=rubymermaid]  
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.”  
[/QUOTE]

For some years at the **Dick’s Last Resort** in Dallas’ West End there was a sign that read “Parking for Dicks’ in Rear”. Sadly, that parking lot no longer exists, nor the sign.
