    Comical Signs (7 photos)

    In the process of refining my photo catalog, I was reminded of some comical signs that I've come across over the last three decades.

    Please do NOT click to view the large version. If you do, you'll miss the questionable narrative and you'll fully appreciate how bad some of these photos are.



    Photo 1 (A terrible photo captured in my first week of owning a camera in 1983. I and my wife of several days thought we were on Route 59. If you have also seen this sign, don't admit it.)

    Photo 2 (Starbucks has never served this flavor.)

    Photo 3 (They apparently got tired of telling tourists that they had come to the wrong restaurant.)

    Photo 4 (Who says Americans aren't precise?)

    Photo 5 (We Americans can spin anything.)

    Photo 6 (Way too much information)

    Photo 7 (Though no respectable photographer would fail to take a photo of this sign, all respectable photographers would do a better job of it.)

    Good ones Mike! For the morning wakeup laugh, it might be worthwhile to start 'comical signs' thread where we could all contribute the chuckles we've come across during our 'camera in hand' experiences!

    Glad to know the thread has been so well received! Anyone is welcome to add their own photos to it or to start a new post-your-photos thread.

    After posting the first set of signs, I came upon this very helpful pair:
