Curry In A Hurry?

What are some of your favorite signs you've seen while traveling?

On one of the highways through North Carolina, one of the exits is for Climax/High Point. Either Rt. 29 or 220?

Driving through the English countryside, I had DH make a u-turn to get a picture of a store sign advertising:

"PMS Furniture"

Who knew!

Hey GT..
The funniest sign I have seen and it was on Jay Leno as well was in my hometown of San Diego on Highway 5 South right before the Airport exit there used to be a sign that read:
"Cruise Ships use Airport Exit"
Classic!

Not while I'm traveling, but visitors to our island see the following sign.

There is a local man who sells pork and his house is the first one on the road going toward the brothel. Therefore, there is a sign with an arrow that points in the direction of the brothel and says, "Fresh meat for sale."

Of course, the sign was put up by the man selling the pork, but nevertheless cracks me up everytime I pass it and see that arrow pointing toward the brothel, as well.

PMS Furniture?!? I love it! I hate it!! I love it! I hate it!! ;-) Too funny.

One of my all time favorite signs is at the airport in Salzburg; it reads, "Kiss and Fly". Sadly, my picture of it was lost. Anyone have a copy?!?

Here's another from England.

Last we went to a wedding reception at a golf country club with a circular driveway. It was raining, and the women were being dropped off at the door. My husband pointed out a nearby sign which read, "Bag dropoff".

This is a sign that should have been:

We were driving by the corrections center for the Hopi reservation, and my husband said "Do you know what that is?" "What?"
"The Hopi Pokey" You probably had to be there but I just laughed and laughed.

When I was a child there was a resturant in our town called Lick-A-Chick.
And I saw a sign last year in the city I live in advertising:
Sarnia Organ Donors Association
Meat Raffle

There's a plumbing company up north called Turdbusters! The graphic they have on their trucks is similar to Ghostbusters and it makes me laugh every time I see it.

I also love the "speed hump" signs they have around the country. We have "speed BUMP" signs here instead.

TxTravelPro...I'm on a tiny island in the Dutch West Indies (yes, it's legal here), although I originally hail from Texas.

On hwy 61 from Memphis, TN to Tunica, MS, there is a strip mall with lots of small stores with a name ending in -mania. My favorite is hairmania- 12 inches of human hair for $1.99. I always wonder how many strands of hair come with that.

There's also a sign along I-65 going north from Nashville, TN to Indianapolis, IN for Tattoo Charlies- done while you wait.
