Post by: midnight Target on December 03, 2003, 06:41:30 PM

There were a few that brought a chuckle...

"Deaf Child Area" - Is this a limitation or a warning?

"Slow Children Playing" - Worse than deafness!

"Specializing in Cheese and Fireworks" - (on a store in Wisconsin.... )

"South Park Elementary" - Is in Rhinelander, Wisconsin

"Deer Season Hours....... " All over Wisconsin and the Yoopee.

In Veneta, OR, there's a store I used to drive by every day called 'Satellite Liquor'.  They sold satellite systems (as in the 10 foot dish kind) and alcohol.

Troy, Michigan sits right off of I-75.  To get there, take exit 69 -- Big Beaver Road.  

Yes, it's true.  I grew up there.  

One of these days I'm going to take a picture of that sign.

On a small hardware store in East Texas:  "Free nails tomorrow!"

Had a friend that worked in a store in Nevada called "Liquor and Guns".  It was a liquor store and a gun store.  Really.  I'm not kidding.

My favorite road signs were in Nevada.  You'd be on an interstate going through a small town and they'd do the usual speed trap scenario where they drop the limit down to 20mph at every town and then have 8 state troopers there with radar guns.  What was funny was on the way out... there'd be 3 signs in about 50 feet.  "35", "45" and "75".  The minivan I was driving wouldn't even hit 75 in time for the last sign.

A great sign I saw in Hawaii (on Maui) is this:

"Emergency stopping only.
Whale watching is not an emergency."

hmm... we have a "deaf children" area complete with signs guess it cuts down on the horn leaners.    

we had a liquor store that had gas pumps outside.   inside it had booze and a delli and fishing gear and... a gun store complete with local gunsmith that ran it...   It was my "one stop shoping" center for the town..  as the town got bigger the store turned into a more PC "24 hour store" complete with gas and booze and plastic sandwiches and slurpies and not a hint of firearms or sporting goods...  real boring place.. not worth going into.

In Washington on the I-5 there's a sign that says 'Do not pick up hitchhikers.'  When I first saw it, I thought it odd that this was the only sign like it I had seen.  Then I glanced over and saw that a few hundred feet away was a juvenile hall type boys academy.
