Note: In spite of the subject matter of the photo I posted, this thread is not about Iraq or Bush.
I snapped this photo off of Hwy. 20 on Whidbey Island (WA) today.
As I said, this is not a Bush/Iraq thread. I just thought the sign was worth a snapshot.
What interesting signs have you seen lately? Please post a link, if available.
Here is another sign of less recent vintage. I think this is my favourite. 
I don’t have a picture, but I always snicker a little when I see the building with South Park Child Care Centre hung over the front door. Wonder if Cartman went there when he was younger…
(I’m pretty sure that the name came before the show, it’s located on South Park street. That doens’t make it any less amusing though)
Ah, yes Good old Zzyzx Road. I have unloaded many a gallon of slightly-used beer at that offramp. There is a little bush at the top of the ramo that has the highest urea concentration in California!
(For those of you not from Southern Califonia, this offramp is almost exactly halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas on I-15. It is the perfect place to pee of you are on a road trip from the former to the latter, and have been drinking since you left.) 
For the past couple of weeks there has been a toilet along side a road I travel on my way home from work. Monday when I drove by someone had attached an “out of order” sign. I finally took my camera with me today to get a picture but someone broke the toilet.
Bummer.
I was driving in Lancaster (CA) with my (ex-)g/f when we saw a couch at the side of the road. I pointed to it and said, “Rest Area.”
(For those in areas that might not have them, a Rest Area is a place off of a freeway that has toilet facilities, and where people can sleep in their cars, picnic, etc.)
I did not see this sign in person. It was e-mailed to me with the comment, “I had to read it three times before I got it.” (Heh. I got it in one.)
I got it in one too. I don’t know whether to be proud of that fact or not.
I’m quite sure we have here on the SDMB a poster who has the user name of Sofa King.
Ah, yes, Zzyzx Road was my favorite sign as a kid! I still chuckle when we pass it on the way to Vegas.
My friends in Colorado lived on No Name Road, I wish I had a picture!
My favorite street sign (no pic, unfortunately) is for a road called Wits End in Sussex County, NJ. That would be a neat address to have. 
<Chandler Bing>And the sign would say “You’re in Sample”</CB>
I love the Sofa King… It’s sofa king cool! I agree that there is a poster by the same name.
There used to be a sign in South Philly, a yellow, diamond-shaped traffic sign with a jaunty arrow that said “Turn Anytime”. I just loved that! I mean, how pointless! I say “used to be” because in my youth one of my boyfriends stole it and presented it to me as a conciliatory gesture because he knew I liked it (Didn’t work).
More recent sightings:
A large, lone pumpkin sitting in the surf on the beach at sunset. I could have cried because I didn’t have my camera.
There was a house that burned down in a very nice neighborhood that I like to take walks in. Seemingly for forever, no one did anything to it except put up “No Trespass” tape, and man was it a charred eyesore! I was walking in that neighborhood around Christmas time and was very amused that someone had hung an ironic wreath on the blackened door.
I’m from the U.S., and on my last trip to Scotland, we saw a big sign saying “Heavy Plant Crossing.” It made me think of Audrey – “Feeeeeed me!” (note to UK residents: we’d say “Heavy Equipment Crossing” on this side of the puddle).
Seeing a sign that says “Slow Children” still makes me chuckle.
OH, yes, the Heavy Plants. I confess that one always made me think of triffids - I mean, they would be pretty heavy things to encounter. (Hmm, I suspect this is a matter of age,’ cos I haven’t seen the “Audrey…feed me” film.)
You know, if not for the fact that a second poster also mentioned Zzyzx Road, I really would have thought that one was a sort of joke. I mean, surely although it is a prefectly sensible name to some people, it must get mispronounced a lot?
And I don’t have a pic of this, but I do recall seeing a sign of a company named “Spook Erections”. My friend wondered out loud whether they were responsible for phantom pregnacies, but, alas, we had no camera with us at the time.
Heh, a different photo of the same sign is on Rotten’s site somewhere and I didn’t even know where it was until driving past it during my move. I did a double take!
So how does one pronounce that?
More signs from my trip:
Guy about to conk another guy on the noggin.
Gas prices. :eek: If that ain’t a sign of the times, what is?
Cisco, great picture! If we had a sign like that where I live, someone would shoot it.
It’s been all over the web as of late, but this still makes me laugh much more than it should.
I was seriously wishing I had my camera on me a few weeks ago as I passed by a guy leaning up against a street sign that read “DIP”.
I wish I had thought to take a picture, but years ago I used to work on 9th street in San Francisco. On 9th and Mission, a couple of people rented out a storefront and used it as a home. when I left work at five or later the residents would be doing natural “at home” stuff. I printed up a sign at work that read: “Homo Sapiens in their natural habitat, please don’t feed” and tapped it to the window one night. I still giggle about that one.
I can’t find the picture, but there was a changeable-letter sign above a radiator shop in my hometown that had a religious message, but the spacing was all screwed up, so it said:
HELLIS FOREVER
JESUS W ANTS TOSAVE YOU
REPENT ANDBECON VERTED
“Andbecon Verted” is my new favorite fake name.
