One of the signs that Jim and I think is kind of dumb is a sign at the beginning of the entrance to our 'hood that says: SLOW CHILDREN PLAYING. Duh. Our neighborhood is populated by either kids with reallllly low iqs or kids who cannot move quickly. If the word "slow" was at the top of the sign, then "children playing" it wouldn't be as funny.

We have a lot of slow children around here as well. I think they all go to one of those slow schools.

The two best I can recall:

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Chattanooga local had a large neon IBEW sign hanging over the union hall you could see from I75. For about a year the E stopped working.

The Food Lion where we used to shop before we moved from Chattanooga once had a hand written sign in the meat department display case which stated:
"The family pack meats have been moved to the other end of the display case by the chicken."

I kept looking around to see if The Famous Chicken had taken a job at Food Lion.

Many years ago at a bar in Mississippi, there was a sign by the toilet in the men's room that said:

"We aim to please. You aim too, please."
