Driving through rural western Ohio, I came across a little Methodist church with a big hand-painted sign out front:

COME WORSHIP
NEW PASTOR

I snapped a photo of it, but never did come back to worship the new pastor. He or she must have been quite something, though!

Did they have peaceful marriage, one cannot help but wonder?

In Creamtealand, at least temporarily, there was a warning sign in the road saying 'Cats Eyes Removed'. Unfortunately, this was placed next to another sign pointing to the 'VETS'.

The vet nurses found it very funny, but they did smell a rat when they realised there weren't actually any road works going on there at the time...

Retired, sitting back and watching others for a change.

What, the RATS put the sign there? [Help]

That thought was probably inspired by a former UK minister for agriculture, who complained that a trial cull of badgers in England (to try to control the spread of bovine TB) had failed because "the badgers moved the goalposts"! [Roll Eyes] BBC report here as evidence.

To no one's surprise, he was sacked in the next reshuffle...

On my last visit to the GP I had to park on the lower of two levels. There is a circular ramp with lights top and bottom, which react to the arrival of a car in motion.
Half way up there's a sign on the wall which says 'Beware of waiting cars at top of ramp'.
I wish I was a cartoonist; I could picture the fierce snarling creatures waiting to pounce on my car as I got to the top.

Whoever is in charge of the sign at our city's other Pisky shack decided to take the summer off:
quote:
Too hot to change the sign every week.
God loves you! Details inside.

As the person in charge of my church's sign, I thought that was quite clever. [Overused]
