A house nearby had one of these signs: [http://www.pediatricsafety.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Road-Signs.jpg](http://www.pediatricsafety.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Road-Signs.jpg) which is not very unusual. However, we had a snowfall and the last line was covered in snow. So, the sign actually said Drive Like Your Kids Which frankly, I’d rather not do! ---

If we’re migrating this to road signs, a classic is a [bilingual sign](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7702913.stm) that essentially says “No Trucks” in English and “I’m out of the office” in Welsh. The story goes someone sent english text to a translator, who happened to be away. Not knowing any different, the sign shop printed up his out of office note. :smack: ---

This thread needs more pictures. [I took a picture](http://t.co/jRbiur9P) of my favorite odd sign. ---

> [@ducati](#): > > You should never park [here](http://www.imbecile.me/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/never-ever-ever-ever-park-here-500x375.jpg). I remember a bit from an early Letterman monologue. Something like: “I was walking into work this morning and I saw a sign that said, ‘Don’t even think of parking here!’ I said to myself, 'Well, that’s too bad, because that would be a really convenient spot for me.” Then a cop came up and gave me a ticket." ---
