Baaaaaaaaaaaaaad choice of wording there.
A recreational lake nearby has a sign on BoatRamp Road that says Road Ends In Water. I asked one of the rangers about it. Turns out they had a lawsuit they had to defend when a guy drove down the road and right into the lake.
I agree with you there, Simster. And the direction of approach of an emergency vehicle is not easy to ascertain–I look all around for the flashing lights, and then make my move.
Thanks for the correction. 
Good point. I can recall having to pull to the left because traffic was so congested the ambulance had to maneuver through it by driving on the shoulder.
The lot across the road from my last house had a big sign that said “CALL FOR INFORMATION - John 777-777-7777”
My brother got curious and called one time:
Bro- Hey, I’m calling about the lot on 86th.
John - Yep. What about it?
Bro - (pause) Um, what’re you asking for it?
John - Oh, well I hadn’t really thought about selling it.
Bro - Mk. Thanks?
I just saw a sign in the grocery store. The intention behind the sign is clear. But the phrasing sucks. There was a bin of inflatable plastic balls. On the bin was the sign
“Please do not play with the playballs”
That’s not silly at all. I used to work for a store that had our own dumpster out back (as opposed to a dumpster for the entire shopping center to use). We regularly had to yell at people dumping their grass clippings, household garbage and once even a dead gutted deer carcass. We paid for the garbage service (and I think were charged by the weight) so having the whole neighborhood use our dumpster so they could avoid paying garbage fees was Not Good. Especially when they would dump garbage in the cardboard recycling bins, ruining the whole load (for which we EARNED money)
About three years ago, on a road trip I noticed that Denny’s had an ad campaign with big posters that said “Buy your spouse a diner”. I’m pretty sure it was supposed to say “dinner”.
I forget to take a picture, but they soon all disappeared.
Please see my reply in post 40.
An office building I was working in was going to be sprayed for bugs over the weekend. A sign in the lobby read “Notice: Building will be eradicated this weekend.”
We were disappointed on Monday to find out the building was still there.
A guy on our bowling league got a new ball and had it engraved with a bad-ass nickname. Or so he thought. I mentioned to my husband the moniker “Intimator” was carved over the fingerholes. “You mean Intimidator”.
No. No, I don’t…
Well, he prefers to subtlely provide information rather than bowl people over with it. I’ll spare you the details.
Speaking of signage, I’ve mentioned this one elsewhere. The sign at the elevator that says:
In case of fire, take the stairs.
It seems to say I should never take the elevator.
No, it doesn’t. It says take the stairs if there is a fire. 
I think gigi saw it as: in case of fire, pick up and remove the stairs. Like the Rodney Dangerfield joke, “Take my wife…please”.
The sign would make more sense if it said, “In case of fire, use the stairs”.
It could be: “In the case where there is a fire, take the stairs.”
Or it could be: “In case there might be a fire, take the stairs.”
There are handicap spots marked in the cell phone lot near the San Diego airport. A cell phone lot is a place to stop and call the person you’re picking up, so you know he/she is there before you drive into the traffic circus. (Both senses apply.) There’s no reason to ever get out of your car there, and so no “closer” parking spaces. I’m sure it’s just a law that’s not worth amending for this special case.
Wouldn’t that be better phrased as “Road ends at water”?
not usually - as they are often used for ramps, so they are rightly “in” the water - no curb, no nothing - and they may extend out some distance.
Yep, there is no demarcation between road and ramp. The lake is part of a flood control system. When the water is low the road is longer.
I try to visit the major league ballparks as I travel. Over the years I’ve been to 25 of the 30. One bizarre thing that I saw, in any baseball stadium, was at Marlins Park in Miami. Inside the stadium, in left field there’s a bar called The Clevelander with restricted access - they card you at the door, and then there’s a $10 cover charge. But once inside I was surprised to see …
… topless dancers. Topless dancers? Really? At a baseball stadium? I found that a little bizarre. Yeah, silly. Stupid, really.
