Quoting a 4+ year old post of a fake sign?

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

I believe the bridge being out is more important than the sharp edges of the sign.  It doesn't even look sharp since the edges are round.

its actually the corners that are round. The edges are still sharp.

Don't know if any of these were posted (there are a lot of broken images in this thread--I did read the whole thing before posting.)

Here are some I'm familiar with:

This is two separate destinations, not some sort of religious farm.

Don't let this sign fool you; there's only one of them.

If I ever write a fantasy novel, I'm naming my heroine this.

Oh, s**t! This is a well known one among Spanish users, and it has been the case for almost a decade now.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Has the long-standing battle between Nagadoches and Nachitoches been resolved yet? ;)

I'm surprised we don't see pictures of UK tourists under those signs the way we do with them in Fucking, Austria,

Actually, one sub-hobby of mine in roadgeeking is finding exit signs whose town names sound like a first and last name.

In a different but similar vein, there is a restaurant called "Chingon Pollo"  opening in Arlington County, Virginia:

Quote"Chingon"  is a Spanish slang term that is often used as a compliment, but it's a conjugation of the verb "chingar,"  which in Mexico roughly translates to the English profanity that begins with "F."  ARLnow.com asked a Spanish speaker how she would interpret the name "Chingon Pollo."

"Chingar is to f-ck and -on means real big "˜ol, so literally "˜real big ol f-cker' but figuratively like "˜big f-cking' something,"  she said, declining to be identified. The whole name could mean "like a f-ckload of chicken, or possibly really hardcore badass chicken, but more literally a f-ckload."
