I saw a sign in a shop the other day that said "If you steal stuff you are MEAN" - it really made me smile, and reminded me of another I'd seen that said "Children who misbehave in this shop will be captured and sold into slavery" - what signs, notices or posters have you seen that have really made you laugh?

"Do Not Throw Stones At This Sign" in a housing estate courtyard. Admittedly it was written on the back of a sign that said "No Ball Games", but looking at it alone was quite a comedy scenario.
Also, nailed into a wall outside a property in London on the weekend. "No Nailing Of Signs On This Wall". Seriously! Best thing was there were about three For Sale sticks nailed in the wall all around it. Tee hee!

When Watership Down was first shown,a butcher put up a sign which read 'You've seen the film,read the book,now eat the rabbits'...needless to say,after public uproar,it was taken down-some people have no sense of humour..! On a similar subject,when my friend saw lots of posters on the London underground which read 'BILL STICKERS WILL BE PROSECUTED' asked me 'Who's Bill Stickers?'

There is a funeral parlor in Florida with a sign outside displaying their name. It is Crispy Coon and makes me think of an old man fried to a crisp in the cremation furnace. I know it is morbid but it always made me laugh to have a name like that for that kind of business. It must have been the owners name but he should have picked another for the business.

waiting made clothing. the only subject i've got found is that a length 8 gown continually seems to be somewhat tight around the chest and shoulders yet different than that each little thing is high quality.

In a vets:
"We'll be back in 5 minutes. Sit! Stay!"
At an undertakers:
"Drive carefully. We'll wait!"
On the window of a home improvement showroom
"We shoot every third salesman. The second has just left!"

We've got one at work that reads:
DO NOT ENTER MEN AT WORK
Think they missed out a full stop which gives the sign a whole new meaning!

When I was on holiday in Tobago there was a huge sign, hand-painted on a wall - "It's nice to be nice!" I try to live my life by this advice!
