I saw this one on a roadtrip to Oregon. It was one of those signs, kinda like "Beef it's whats for dinner.", but this one was for pork. It sayd "Pork, the one you love".

Speaking of pork
Road sign on the east side of Wadena, Minnesota, USA: "Oink Joint Road" - I presume there is a hog farm on the road. Another favorite, eastern Montana, USA, off of Interstate Highway 94 (wayside rest at intersection): "Bad Route Road" Moose Added by edit: BTW, as I entered this message, I was listening to the "Pork Soda" cd of Primus.

I can't remember if the following I saw in real life or on the internet. But it's pretty funny. "Our store is close because it is not open"

One road sign that always gave me a chuckle...not sure why... "Kitchen Dick Road" This one off of Sequim Bay, near the Jamestown K'lallam Tribe, Warshington. (forgot to give the requisite non-directions) This message has been edited by DBlevins, 02-08-2005 12:52 AM

Haha. They say that mistakes are repeated more often than we'd like to think.

You spelled ABE wrong too (unless that is your initials).

Re:
No, that I managed to get right. ABB for Arkansas Banana Boy, a backhanded tribute to Arkansas's former creationist governor Frank White,who was depicted with a half eaten banana in his hand by prominent political cartoonist George Fisher.

Here's three that always give me a chuckle: The first is from a camp ground on an Island where I use to spend most of my summers. It read: CAMIPNG FEE $5.00 I always wanted to ask them what a Ca Mip Nig was so I'd be sure to not do it without first paying my five bucks. The second one was a local sign that read: Busted Butt Gun Shop and Day Care. Boy...nothing says "America" like the good ole Gun-shop/Day Care Center combo. And of course, there is always the: "DO NOT PASS WHILE OPPOSING TRAFFIC IS PRESENT" signs you see along the highways of Michigan. Thank God they put up those signs...cuz otherwise I'd be sure to pull out and pass only when I see vehicles in the on-coming lanes.

LOL, yes I was going to post about the passing signs in Mich. Another one that always gives me a chuckle is the "Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers" signs near the state prison outside of Marquette.

Safety Stickers.
Don't forget them! On the top of a ladder I bought recently: "Do not stand above this step!" Near the exhaust of a jet-ski: "Do not place mouth or other bodily orifices over exhaust pipe while jet-ski is running!" On top covering coffee above the only hole larger than a pin prick: "Sip here!"
