It’s a funny old world, if you look at it. Last weekend my wife and I found this in a café:
Meanwhile my brother-in-law found this on a freeway while visiting Pittsburgh, and remarked: ‘I guess if it’s an emergency, it’s an emergency…’
Then there’s the sign I found in Napier, New Zealand – a significant gauge of the sign-writer’s abilities. Gauge. I did say ‘gauge’, didn’t I.
Not to mention grocer’s apostrophes in Wellington (took these with my iPAQ, a Hewlett Packard PDA that used the i prefix before Apple did…but isn’t in the league of my SLR):
Have you seen any funny signs around lately?

My favorite of late was “Tresspasser’s willbe violated” Makes you wonder…
Indeed!
Brilliant!
Thank you!
Thank’s for sharing these. The sign’s made me giggle this morning. Looking forward to reading more post’s.
Thank you. Actually, there’s a sign I didn’t include here. Must capture it, and I’ll do a ‘Part 2′ post in a while.
I have a small collection of apostrophe abuse pictures I’ve taken – dyspostrophe, I call the category. The gold medal goes to the person who put an apostrophe in a street sign for “GLADY’S SCOTT PLACE”, presumably so we knew that was where Glady kept her Scotts.
A bit of a dysaster for the council (did I spell it that way…I did, didn’t I…)
A highly amusing set of pictures. I haven’t seen any funny signs, but if I do I will be sure to tell.
Look forward to hearing from you on them.
Loved that one about uncontrolled children
I always say that if someone finds out how to use all that energy, it’ll be better than nuclear 
Way more powerful than nuclear!
My husband, a back-seat blog reader, wants to know if the proceeds from child sales will be applied to the bill?
Based on what it cost for a sandwich and soft drink there…no…
Our local golf course has some great grammar woes. . . then again, so do most of our fast food chains. I may have to start taking pictures
Thanks for the fun photos and inspiration!
Thanks. Yeah, it’s always a bit of fun to see these signs. In point of fact, we discovered after venturing into that cafe, past the fridge at the door (which is where the ‘children will be sold..’ sign was lurking) that they had a fair number of creatively flippant notices around the place. Very funny.
