I saw this no smoking sign turned into a no pie sign. Well, not that one specifically but the same thing inside a bus stop in Portland. I thought it was pretty clever at the time, but it’s apparently a meme.
The new Jeeps are no longer off road vehicles but just luxury SUVs. It’s a Jeep thing indeed.
I have always laughed at the billboards that say “Depression… It’s the number 1 cause of suicide.”
Well, um, yeah. Like I’m going to commit suicide because I just landed my dream job?
Looks under 30 what? Mushrooms? Living room couches? 
In an old building on campus, in the basement, there is a short flight of steps leading down to a blank wall. There obviously used to be some kind of door or passageway there, but now it’s just smooth plaster at the foot of the steps. Upon which, someone has scrawled in tiny script

I was on a road trip through rural Maine when I came upon a decrepit wooden shack covered in undergrowth. I was attracted by the old truck under a collapsed roof of an attached shed and stopped to take a look around. It was an old one-room schoolhouse and one wall was peppered with graffiti. Not your usual vulgarities and band logos but more poignant things like “HJ Boyton finish school here in 1912 came back in 1965 Sept”.
Among all of those nostalgic memories and in a small neat script was my favorite, and perhaps the most poetic. “Betty was hot as a cannon and got screwed here on a beautiful night”.
There’s a couple on the roads here in Panama that always make me do a double take.
One is the Dago Restaurant. I think it’s owned by a guy who is actually named Dagoberto.
There are also billboards that say KIKE! in huge letters. It’s actually the nickname of a local politician named Enrique (and is pronounced Kee-kay).
Years ago in South San Francisco along Hwy 101 there was a billboard I really liked. It said, simply,
key pure ice under ode
(read it quickly, running the words together)
College graffiti is the best. The University of Delaware, for many years, had an overpass upon which was painted ‘T.J. Eckleburg’ with a pair of glasses. Long gone now, but beautiful it its way.
One of my favorites is the one that re-appears every now and then on a bridge going over the Washington DC Beltway when the Mormon Temple comes into view:
Heck, it takes up half of the Wikipedia entry on the topic:

That is a great one. I really like it.
Sorry. I read the thread, but somehow managed to miss that.
What is with the enormous amounts of blank space that are always in your posts? Is it intentional?
Generally.
Having run across a few in downtown Pittsburgh, Toynbee tiles.
For years I was intrigued by the word “PEAS” on a bridge on the M25 (The Motorway that encircles London). It was only after altered it to “GIVE PEAS A CHANCE” that I found out that “PEAS” was the tag of a graffiti daredevil (rather than artist IMHO).

For (too many) years there was a piece of graffiti on the right hand side as you approached Lime St. Station in Liverpool which, in large spidery lettering (painted rather than sprayed) complete with serifs, proclaimed: “COCKNEYS DIE”.
That always gave pause for thought.
Funny. both of them. Especially Bre-X. 
This is an actual road not an altered sign. This is Interstate 75 in Michigan. Probably been seen by some before since there are many pictures on the web
Guess what the exit number Big Beaver Road is (NSFW): [spoiler]http://www.damagenoted.com/gallery/v/detroit/aay.jpg.html[/spoiler]
There is also a Hooters restaurant just off the exit, Not actually on Big Beaver Road, but close.
Not graffiti, but I thought the scare quotes were hilarious so I took a picture. This was in 2011, when the Canadian dollar was trading well above the US dollar.
And this one is actual bathroom wall graffiti. On the bathroom wall. Cracks me up every time.
