There are two rules for this thread. The signs have to really exist and you have to have seen them yourself - not read about them or seen a photo of them.

I'll kick off with my two favourites. I REALLY wished I had a camera for these

Driving through the backwoods of Arkansas we saw a 'company' that sold sheds (for garden tools/equipment) and outhouses and the name on the marquee out front

Ed's Sheds and Shitters

I remember this from 2 years ago - an alley behind a French Restaraunt in Southport UK

"NO FLY TIPPING - SEVERE PENALTIES"

LOL, I just tipped the waiter 10 quid - but who is this fly character.

Two of my favorites, from my home state of Louisiana:

Just outside the city of West Monroe:

EXIT: WELL ROAD
Hospital Next Right


and just west of Minden, LA, on the I-20

Goodwill Road
Ammunition Plant


That one actually made it into the National Enquirer many years ago.

Just remembered one more:

There's a men's clothing store in Monroe, LA named "Gay's" (it's a family name), located in downtown Monroe. On the car parking lot next to the store, which it shared with a bank, was written in bold letters,

Ouachita National Bank and
Gays Free Car Park


Hehehe...I'm sure they're delighted...but how do the lot attendants determine who's eligible?

Where I went to college, there was a store called:

Acme Stoves and Video.

That's right. You could buy a woodburning stove or rent a video. What a business plan!

OK OK, here's one I saw Saturday outside an opticians in Piccadilly, London:

20/20 Vision Opticians
Eye Exams
While U Wait


Naw, I'd rather leave my eyeballs there and get on with my shopping....

Near a cliff in Gibraltar by the sea there is a fence. On that fence there is a sign which says "Driving beyond this point is prohibited,turn back". Like anyone who cared would have time to see it before falling to his death.

"So why should I worship you Tiax?"
"Well Sigmar, I am Tiax the chosen one of Cyric, destined to ascend, I shall rule all!"
"Do you know you have a duck on your head?"
"Duck what duck......ahhhhhhhh!"

LOL These are funny!
Epona, In Tucson AZ, there is an eye clinic named "Grimm Eye Clinic"
(things are looking grim LOL)

Also, in a town not far from here is a true small town grocery store whose outside sign reads "Meats, Produce, Feeds"
