Now that you've got that song stuck in your head. Whats your best/funniest/oddest/strangest or most out of place sign photo? or here's a chance to shoot that funny combination of bilboards you see on the way to work every day..

I'll start

So there is no restrictions if you park outside the lines??

This one is edited, I took out a couple of words. (Of Literature) [grin]

So I am going to be honest here, I am not going to have the time to stop and take a picture of this, but on my way home from work there is a little shopping area, it's semi-upper-class. Out front they have a sign that has some of the business logos and one of those signs where you can change the letters. So the prominant sign says "Bikini Cuts" and right below it on the changable sign it says "ask about our parts warranty".

Now, Bikini Cuts is a salon with a beach theme where the girls cutting your hair wear bikinis, I believe it is marketed to men. The parts warranty message is for the sign below it for a computer store. But it appears that the message is for the sign above it. It's been up for over a year now. I may be the only one giggling about it when I drive past.

I should take a picture (sigh).

considering I have only owned one point and shoot, and only for a few months before I got rid of it, and my phone doesn't have a camera... no, I haven't. It's unfortunate, because I don't just take casual pictures. It's a chore to get out my camera, attach a lens, set the settings and shoot (unless someone is paying me). That would be why I don't have candids of my poor daughter.

We would never frequent such a place. Never...
On Sunday with the kids along.

Forgive the dark humor. It's been a rough week.
These are from Bolivar, Texas on Monday. You have to find something to laugh at in the worst of times.

John those are classics!!!

Susie, not having a camera is just *twitch* wrong. I have a coolpix s10 with me (in my wheelchair backpack 24/7) my SLR is next to me in the car always 18-200 set to aperture priority f8 at 400ISO.

My uncle took this one of the boat in the yard while I was doing my best "Captin Morgan". More dark humor.
