On our recent vacation, we were walking down the street when I spotted this sign denoting the intersection at which we were crossing. I busted into 10th-grader style snickering, and had to snap a pic.
If you don’t see why, then consider yourself more mature.
Well, its official. I’m still 14. 
Heh heh heh!
The thread title is a dead giveaway.
I knew I would fail and I didn’t disappoint myself.
I guess I must be mature. What’s so funny about CASS and CANAL?
I don’t C it.
I guess if you ignore the "C"s you can read ASS and ANAL, but it’s not very funny. Not because I’m mature, but because it’s a bit of a stretch - like laughing at the word “assassin” because it has two "ass"es in it. Big deal.
You said ass. Twice!
I am maturing, because it took me a minute to see it, but good one Hal.

I’ll take C ASS C ANAL for $400, Alex![/Sean Connery]
Anal Bum Cover and The Rapist, please.
What about The Penis Mightier?
One of my favorite hobbies used to be taking those weekly Service Changes signs they tape up in the subway stations, and moving them so they cover the “C” in “CANAL STREET.”
OK, it’s still one of my favorite hobbies.
I probably wouldn’t have noticed anything on my own, but when I looked to see what you found funny, then I got the little snicker.
Ten years on this board and I’m probably twenty years less mature than I was when I started. Thanks, guys.
It’s also funny if you only ignore one of the Cs. ASS CANAL.
A restaurant near where I used to live – The Canal House – had to put up with a good bit of sign vandalism as well.
That’s how I read it. I only smiled a little, so I guess I’m on my way to being a grownup.
I’m reminded of the quote from Arrested Development, "Swallows was a family-style restaurant by day and an anything-goes, pan-sexual bazaar by night. "
Oh, Gosh, me, too!
I got a chuckle out of it.
Hmm, a dark night, a cordless sawzall with a metal cutting blade. How long do you think it would be before anyone fixed the signs? Think it would be long enough to get updated on Google street view?
Enjoy,
Steven
The last Black Angus steakhouse I saw had its lettering made of wood and attached to the side of the building. Except for the G, which was painted on, for some reason.
