There is a story, perhaps apocryphal, about a sign directing drivers to avoid a right fork if they wanted to go to Boston's North Shore: "NO SHORE BEAR LEFT." A tourist allegedly commented "My, what a pity."
If no shore bears left then they are all still there to see! |

A sign in Denmark
I was driving the freeway. I saw a sign:
Fart Kontrol Does it mean you have to refrain from breaking gas? I found out the English meaning is Speed Control afterwards. |
There is a car wash near the MAN airport that has a sign that says:

Don't commit urine
In India a wonderful sign referenced in "Cadogan Guide India" by Frank Kusy, "Please do not commit urine."
I have some sympathy for this. I think in Hindi, the most common language in India, it would be normal not to use the equivalent of "urinate" but rather to say something like "make urine". Comments from native speakers? |

Whenever traveling on certain toll roads in the United States, I always thought that Reduce Speed Get Ticket signs were funny.
So, if I increase the speed of my vehicle, I can avoid getting a ticket? |

In a dance studio in the People's Republic of Political Correctness (Cambridge, MA), the men's room is one floor up from the ladies room. Taped to the mirror of the men's room was:
"For your comfort, a gender-neutral bathroom is provided on the third floor." I've always been baffled by who that gender-neutral bathroom was really intended for. Taped to the shower also in that same men's room: "Men, Do not use the showers as a urinal." |
In a shopping mall:
"SALE! Men's Dress Shirts, 15 to 19 necks" No wonder they were on sale. Everybody I saw in the mall had just the one neck. |
