Signs
What signs have you seen that just make you go--huh? Just post whatever signs you saw that you though amusing, strange or whatever. 
One of my recent favorites is on hwy 60 in IA. It is for the Sioux City, IA airport.---It simply says--Fly SUX.
All I can do is agree---flying sucks.

Re: Signs
I just remembered another one, while taking a casual Sunday drive through CT, sign said..."Welcome to the Sanctuary of Love", overseeing the background of this sign, up on a hill sat this old, dilapidated, white Victorian house  . Now who in their right frame of mind would even dream of knocking on that door? 1+1 did not equal 2 with that scenario.

Re: Signs
If you drive I-74 from IN to Il--At the Il state line you see the sign saying "The people of Ilinois welcome you."
If you look to your right, you'll see an Il state prison.
The next sign is for the exit. It's named "lynch road".

Re: Signs
Where I use to live, on back dirt roads, in the middle of extremely rural Missouri, I often wondered when I passed this one road sign...why was it named "Ocean Wave Road"
It wasn't hilly or wavy and there sure as hell wasn't any ocean near by.

Re: Signs
First sign that comes to mind in the ever popular "Yield" sign on entrance ramps. What exactly does that mean anyway? I always thought I knew but it never fails when I'm in the right lane some idiot always comes down the ramp at 90mph and immediately slips in front of me. And apparently those same people just haven't the proper knowledge of "italian" sign language either!!!

Re: Signs
Highway 16 between Tomah and Sparta, WI goes past and thru a mitary base. There are signs a few places on that raid that say "tank crossing"
Rather unnerving.

Re: Signs
While driving to my mother-in-laws for a visit my husband and I laughed our butts off when we saw a sign that said "Used Cows for Sale". What the heck is a used cow?

Re: Signs
Always wondered about the town 70 miles west of me called Grand Island, its no island, not surrounded by water, hell theres not even a lake within 45 miles of it. Also cemetaries, they always have the most ironic names, like.."Mount Hope" i think at this point, all hope has been lost.,.. or "Pleasant View" u gotta be kidding me

Re: Signs
Anyone whose ever visited south central Pennsylvania will have seen signs of some of the strange names of towns, the most well known would be Intercourse, which is right in the middle of amish country. But there's also Virginville, Mount Hope, Mount Joy, Bird in Hand and Blue Ball. It cracks my ass up every time I go through there.

Re: Signs
While doing a "pick-up" in Savage,MN I noticed the sign that says "Cargile bans guns on these premises"
So, after loading, signing paperwork, I asked the lady if that meant I could bring a crossbow or bow and arrows.
She told me that she'd have to find a way for me to not come back.
The two people that I knew from going there before just sat at their desks and laughed.
