Driving down the road in rural Arkansas, the mind drifts to a rather disliked ex-girlfriend. I see a large lit sign by the road -
MARY’S COUNTRY BITCHES
Blink.
MARY’S COUNTRY KITCHEN
Anyone else do that occasionally?
Think about your ex-girlfriend? Not that often 
Once, driving down the road with a friend of mine, the car in front of us had a bumper sticker that said “Support Your Local Arboretum. . .Hug A Tree” Well, at first glance, i read ‘arboretum’ as ‘abortion’, and had no clue what it had to do with trees!! To top it off, my friend looked at me, and said “You know, at first, I thought that said. . .” and together we said “abortion”.
Weird, huh?
On a couple of other message boards, I go by “Five Tons of Flax”.
One day driving to my parents’ house, I saw a sign that said: “Weight limit 5 tons”. I thought it was addressed to me.
When you cross over from NJ to PA on I-80, there’s an exit for a town called Scotrun. I don’t think I’ve ever gone by it and didn’t initially read it as Scrotum. All of my friends have said the same thing, so I know it’s not just me.
I drive past a church on the way to work, which has large sign reading “Victoria Harvest Church.” I always seem to see “Victoria Harvest Crunch.”
Here we have “Fortification Street”
Which of course is always read as “Fornication Street”
Grew up a good Catholic kid, with a headful of martyrs:
Trespassers will be persecuted
I think it has alot to do with prior experience, as well as our own upbringings. We relate what we already know to what we are seeing, hearing, and experiencing altogether.

I was scanning through the thread just now and I read it as “Scrotum.”
I once passed a sign on the highway in Pennsylvania that read **Scrotum, PA **
A double take told me it was **Scott Run **
Holey Moley ! I didn’t see **Jadis’ ** post. See, you aren’t the only one to see scrotum’s everywhere
Scrotums everywhere? What a load of b****cks.
“View New Posts” About half the time I (almost) read it as “View Nude Posts”. I’ve had an urge forever to complain that I’ve never seen a single one. Subconscious false advertising at its worst. Shame. Maybe.
I thought I saw a street sign, “Social Progression.” I kept pondering what that meant. When I returned, I noticed it is really “Signal Progression.”
I see lots of signs for “Flick Road,” and when it’s written all in caps, as “FLICK”, it’s almost impossible not to turn the LI into a U 
There’s a street where I used to live which I swear was called Crotch Crescent. However, on closer inspection, it turned out that I was completely right :eek:
It’s amazing how often the signs I see directing me to a ‘Garbage Sale’ are really accurate.
