On the way home every day I pass a sign post that contains 2 signs:
Pedestrian Xing
(and below it)
No Stopping
So it’s OK to run right over those pesky pedestrians in the crosswalk?
Any great/funny sign combos you’ve come across?
(In one thread someone made mention of the 2 billboards: “What a Pair” and “Got Milk?”)
This is kind of old, but there are two towns near each other called Clinton, SC and Prosperity, SC.
There is a real roadsign that became mildly famous during the 1992 election that points one way to Clinton and the other to Prosperity.
There was a restaurant in Gatlinburg that had one of those signs with removable letters. It was too high to reach from the street, so it was an employee who did the inappropriate spacing of lines:
Help Wanted
Waitresses
All You Can Eat $9.99
There was a little bait shop/store in Coushatta, LA with the sign out front:
Live Worms
Meat Pies
Rolaids
I’m sure the combination was intentional (and thus not right in line with the OP); but it always made me smile.
Which reminds me of the fact that when Hurricane Bonnie hit the Carolinas last year, in the middle of the Lewinsky episode, the weekly paper headlined the article about the storm’s impact “Bonnie Blows Clinton A Good One”
Gaah…the local newspaper in Clinton, NC!
:::proof, then post. proof, then post. proof…::::
Someone I know has a disturbing obsession/fascination with the number 69 which I really don’t want to know any more about.
Anyway we were driving from our school, SUNY Binghamton, to somewhere else and she noticed and became VERY excited about this sign on the highway:
Binghamton 69
we missed it on the way back.

I do not know Daniel, but I assume with a name of Daniel that you are male. And you did say she I believe. So maybe you ought to help her explore this fascination with 69.

Speaking of 69.
On I-75 in Michigan. Exit 69 is for Big Beaver. That never failed to crack up me and my friends in High School.
Man, was I ever that mature??

heh. funny.

This isn’t a coincidence, but funny nonetheless. A local radio station here broadcasts Rush and Dr. Laura and one of their billboards reads “Dual Airbags” with both their pics.
not unintentional - but still amusing.
Real personal ad found in magazine.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
Cape Girardeau has a Ford St. and a Fairlane Dr… and they intersect. I don’t remember which sign is on top though.

Shit! Sorry 'bout the double post.
Smug-
I bet you’ve been just dyin’ for a place to post that.
Thanks for the laugh. 
In an apartment complex:
Slow children crossing
There was no punctuation between “slow” and “children”, and the sign was repainted at least once while I was there.
Only in Memphis. But it seemed to make a lot of sense.
Hey, if smug can do it, so can I. Brace yourselves though, it’s in French. But you’re all so intelligent, I suppose this won’t be a biggie.

And now I’ll just hope and pray this all went well alignment-wise, otherwise I’ve just ruined a perfect joke - one that REALLY happened though.

“You know how complex women are”
Woohoo !

“You know how complex women are”
Well I translated the second one first (it’s shorter, I’m lazy), and it says…nevermind, I’ll wait a bit so as not to spoil it for others.
But it was obviously the answer Georges was looking for, so no need to translate the first message. It’s no doubt celver, though.
