Here's Your Sign.
I am certain every town/city has at least one business sign that, although is serious in nature, becomes humorous in actual application.
Now get out there and take those pics. and post ONLY photos YOU have taken (no fair cropping them off the net). My contribution: ![]() PS: There used to exist a DR. Boner M.D. in Springfield (yellow pages only) ![]()

Thats good stuff. When I lived in Boston, there was a place in Burlingtom MA that made artificial limbs. It was right nextdoor to a lumber yard. I would have named that company "The Wooden Leg Limb Company." I wish I took a pic.

The police station in the town I grew up in back on the east coast was literally next door to the Dunkin' Donuts. The sign said "Dunkin' Donuts Police". No lie.
There's one here in Long Beach that's right next door to Krispy Kreme too (on Bellflower Blvd.) I should get a picture of it.

I went to school in SGF with Melinda Boner, who I believe was Dr. Boners daughter. She had a very good sense of humor growing up with a name like that.

Across the street from my house is a small wooded area. There are two signs within thirty feet of each other:
"Unlawful to litter" "Unlawfull to litter" Either get a dictionary and fix it or spell it wrong twice!!!

Local Taco Bell had a sign, "Now hiring ***** managers". That explains a lot.

I am childishly amused every time I see the sign for this place;
Wang & King Asian Cafe 10720 S Tryon St, Charlotte, NC I never seem to have a camera with me though.

If we're discussing names as mentioned earlier, here's a few more.
There's a guy at work named Gay Cox. Having an email come through with his name always makes me laugh. I knew a girl named Andrea Beaver years ago. She swore to God her grandmother was named Eda. Eda Beaver.
