Humorous Signs

[Michael]

Not a sign in the field, but I got a chuckle out of it:

In a Los Angeles suburb called Monterey Park (not to be confused with Monterey farther north on the coast), there used to be, and it's probably still there, an Asian market called Shun Fat. It was on Atlantic Blvd. just south of I-10, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps quillz or someone in L.A. can post a picture.

If we're doing non-road signs, here's a couple from Toronto:



One from Estes Park, CO:


And one from Six Flags in Denver:

(I totally brought some missiles I was going to throw off the ferris wheel...)

Also, not funny so much as odd:

Hebrew writing on a falafel shop?

If we're expanding into restaurants, then this piece about New York's fried chicken places is an absolute must-read. It looks longer than it is because it has a lot of pictures. It's also funny.

I had an uncle who swore by Big O Tires and wouldn't buy any other brand.

The name of the road is Farmers-Sharkey Road. The sign on the other direction of I-64 has the communities in that order. Farmers is a definable community (junction of KY 801 and US 60) but there really is nothing at Sharkey except the terminus of KY 801 at KY 158. This exit was added a few years ago and KY 801 rebuilt down to US 60 to give access to Cave Run Lake.

Excellent use of emoticon in context

Two street signs that caught by attention:





And two more that I wouldn't have believed, had I not toyed with Google Maps on my phone one day:

I-75 in Michigan, exit 69: Big Beaver Road.

Of course some entrepreneurs have a website and line of merchandise for it: http://getoffonbigbeaver.com/

I also have taken my own photos of the signs at that interchange, you can see them on the "Worst of Road Signs" thread.

I think this is a pretty old picture-not sure if the sign is there anymore(taken in Weed, CA).

not funny so much as odd:

The word those letters spell is "kosher," and for those Jews who observe the dietary laws, that is very important to know.  It means that the kitchen is inspected and certified by a rabbi and that any non-kosher items are kept separately from the kosher ones (or that there are no non-kosher items in the shop at all).  Besides, falafel is more a middle-eastern food, not necessarily eaten only by Muslims.  There are lots of kosher falafel places in New York.

My brother was on a business trip to Hawaii for the past week and this weekend he's taking some extra time to go to the Big Island. Last night he sent a number of pictures of the snowfall on Mauna Kea. He also sent this road sign picture that I immediately knew had to be uploaded here:





Edited to add: I replied to his e-mail to say how much I loved this sign and his reply said, in pertinent part, "The invisible cows sign is great....and they're not exaggerating.  You can't see those f'rs!"

Even though these signs are not humorous to us roadgeeks, to non road people these signs seem to be.  Many people find the "REMOVE SUNGLASSES" signs approaching the PA Turnpike tunnels as that.

On Streetview, I saw a sign similar to that one on the off-ramp from NB I-5, but it has Bend instead of Weed.
http://g.co/maps/hm76k - This is across the road from the off-ramp from SB I-5. Similar, but has "College of Siskiyous" and "Central Weed" and looks new.
This is at exit 747.
