I'm almost more taken by the fact that this Walgreen's is selling an entire holiday for cheap.

"XMAS 75% OFF" -- what, do you just get the X?

Unlikely.

I love this kind of found humor. Also great is deliberate sign graffiti, like the sign I saw on Long Island:

NO ERECTION OF TPENTIS OR OTHER STRUCTURES ON BEACH

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 28 February 2003 01:47 (twenty-three years ago)

There was a 'DO NOT PASS' sign around here deliberately changed to 'DO NO ASS,' and though it's obviously a lame sentiment I was cheered by the idea that a bunch of obnoxious 15-year-olds a la the Raunchy Young Lepers or the Icy Hot Stuntaz did it and then had their photo taken beneath it.

In Georgetown there's a place called the Canal Cafe. One night, while we were waiting in line for a movie, my sister noticed that someone had swiped one of the sign's letters -- it now read "Anal Cafe."

I think it woudl be better if someone changed it from Canal Cafe to Place Where Nude Donkey Die

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Friday, 28 February 2003 06:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Die or sleep?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 28 February 2003 06:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, the canal in question features mule-drawn barges, so it could happen.

On my street, a sign reading "Post No Bills" has been changed to read "Living Prohibited". It works in German.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 28 February 2003 09:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Penn Road at the top of caledonian road has had "is" added...

...i'd like to think it was dave q ;)

This would be a good time to mention the Nagina Tandoori in Dublin.

There's a business in Chinatown called Mei Dick.

(Most cited example of "dirty-sounding" Asian-establishment signage -- Portland's Chinese restaurant Hung Far Low.)

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 28 February 2003 14:40 (twenty-three years ago)

There's a Chinese restaurant near my apartment that's just called Ho's.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 28 February 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

We've got the Ho Toy Noodle Company on the outskirts of Chinatown.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 February 2003 14:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I once saw a sign advertising "Ho-Made Sandwiches."

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Post no Bills' used to be 'Bill Stickers Will Be Prosecuted'

to which the obvious graf reply is

BILL STICKERS IS INNOCENT

― Ed (dali), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

there's a jewellers here with a sign that says "ears pierced while you wait".

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:02 (twenty-three years ago)

oh and when I worked in an office for a few summers, there was "schindlers lifts".

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:02 (twenty-three years ago)

there is a Ho Toy in Worcester, MA as well.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:09 (twenty-three years ago)

There is this place near my house thats called "Ballard Springs", someone ripped the letters off so it read "Ball Rings" which I thought was great.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 February 2003 15:11 (twenty-three years ago)

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Friday, 28 February 2003 20:09 (twenty-three years ago)

The 'alligators should beware of hurtling wheelchairs' sign is particularly good.
