This was written on one of those large digital signs across the highway. It made me laugh this morning, I think the person who suggested it should get a big raise.

My favorite sign of all time is the speeding ones in Canada.
The demerit points (in french) are called points of ineptitude.

On a truck that was accompanying a mobile home being driven down the highway, "Wide Load Escort Service". Hey, I'm pretty sure those girls prefer to be called curvy.

I'm starting to look at buying a used car to replace my current car. The above ad reminds me of some of the shyster type dealers who think that if they list all sorts of ridiculous details about the car under "features" a stupid buyer won't read the list, but will just see that it's a long list and that the car must be loaded with options. My favorites are the ones that list things like "Steering wheel". Seriously. These are $60k - $70k cars, I'm hoping a steering wheel is not an optional accessory...

How about engine as an optional feature.

I didn't think they had blinkah's in MA?
At least not on 128.... Not so funny, but succinct and effective (from a trip last weekend in Maine): "Put down your phone. Just drive."

I will have to dig the photo out it's packed away in the basement, but when I was in highschool my friend and I were driving home from school one day and we were behind a food delivery truck and it had the saying "Enjoy life, eat out more often" painted on the back. Of course being in highschool and immature we laughed like maniacs all the way home. Ok, it still makes me laugh

Years ago one of the restaurants in OBX had a sign out advertising Fresh Black Anus on the menu.

A couple of great signs from my former home in South GA
One small county the jail had a marquis sign out front (not sure why). They also had a big state park nearby that would host meetings. So one day driving by the jail, presumably there was a meeting at the state park, but the sign at the jail said "Welcome State Legislators!"
In a small town near where MIL lives when you are driving down one of the main roads, there is a stoplight at a 4-way intersection where the roads have different names on either side of the road. So there are 2 signs next to the light. To the left is "Trojan Way" and to the right is "Clinic Avenue". Sometimes you have to make a choice in life!

Has some truth to it. American Horror Story' actor Ben Woolf dies after being struck by carBen Woolf, an actor on "American Horror Story," has died four days after being hit by a car, a spokesman said. He was 34. Woolf died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, publicist Zack Teperman said. Woolf's family was at his side. The Los Angeles Times, citing Teperman, reported that Woolf had suffered a stroke. The 4-foot-4 actor, who was diagnosed with pituitary dwarfism at a young age, was hospitalized in critical condition Thursday after he was hit by the side mirror of a passing vehicle in Hollywood. The motorist, who remained at the scene after the accident, was interviewed by officers, but no citations were issued. 'American Horror Story' actor Ben Woolf dies after being struck by car

We have a fairly new Marketplace in our area. In this marketplace there quite the variety of stores: Giant, Liquer Store, Staples, TJ Max, Dick's Sporting goods a Target and even a Kohls. There is also a variety of smaller stores and a few restaurants. When they did the billboards, everyone wanted a place on it so they started with the bigger names. The top is Giant and right below it is Dick's. Talk about unfortunate name placement!

Can't find a picture of the original sign placement but I did find a directional sign.
