I found this one on the ferry Spokane a little funny, "Say off the Ladder". Good luck finding the ladder to stay off of. It was probably removed years ago; the sign remains.

On the Viagra Patient Advisory Leaflet: "Do not take this medication with others." (sic) Really. On a church marquee sign (perhaps for a different target market): "Jesus, I come quickly." Has anyone actually seen the classic men's urinal signs, "We aim to please. You aim too, please." or "The hand that removes your cigarette butt from this urinal is the hand that mixes your drinks."

And I've always liked the Gai's Bread trucks, which advised, "Drive carefully. The loaf you save may be your own."

I checked under my hood and no Marmota olympus hanging out in the engine compartment due to having a very small compartment for the engine. Of all the times I have been to and parked my car at the Obstruction Point parking lot, this was the first time I have seen the above sign.

In the Canadian Rockies, it's de rigeur to wrap your car securely with chicken wire to keep the porkies from snacking on your brake lines etc. Our tame grey squirrel used to nap in Dad's engine compartment. Liked the warmth, I guess. It got a ride to the golf course once; scared us, but made it safely home. Wonder if it even woke up?

Necklace Valley. I reckon Jack had a sense of humor and enjoys still bringing smiles to people.
Wish I had a photo of this: You know how U-Haul trucks often have ads depicting various tourist attractions? One touted DOUBLE BUCKING <very large font> Calgary Loggng Show <picture of loggers with double buck saw> Some wag had perfectly altered the second "B". It was way too early in the morning, and it took me hours to figure it out.

In Matt's 2008 Stiletto trip report he labels a well-signed tree photo with the caption, "Enough signs?":
Quote:
Enough signs?
Enough, or not, I saw that a sign has been added:

It's sad, but saw this on the W.O'Douglas Wilderness sign north of White Pass last week. frown.gif When did vandalizing trail signs become a thing?
