Favorite Vandalized Sign

[Burma Jones]

With all the talk of stolen and vandalized signs, I would like to find out what good examples you've seen of "edited" signs. Here's mine

In the 70s, a local synagogue had a sign that read: "Save Soviet Jewery" under which someone wrote, very neatly I might add, "Win Valuable Prizes." The Rabbi left it up for weeks and we all thought it was very funny.

1. on a speed sign

speed limit 10 miles per hour, someone did a professional job of adding a second zero to that sign

2. Which kind are we saving?

Silver or gold? I guess platinum and titanium are popular nowadays as well.



:P

Someone needs to add:

Duh!

6. Watch Children

Someone painted in "Die" underneath

2d Place - the "Huh???" someone painted under the "Deaf Child" words on a roadsign.

Favorite non-altered sign: "Road Ends in Water"

7. Frost Heave...

..to which I want to add sound effects -- someone barfing.
Because every time I see that sign, I do a little gag in the car...for fun.

Oh, I gotta getta life!

Kerry on...

8. Why would there be a sign for frost heave?

I thought that was something that happens in the garden. Is it a problem elsewhere?

Don't laugh, I'm from the south. :shrug:

11. Roads buckle causing damage to cars, if a driver...

...doesn't slow down. I guess they go flying up and over and KABLOOM!

I live in Vermont. It was new to me, too. Hence, my puking jokes.
Actually, I never met a frost heave that was any trouble.
Maybe it bugs the truck guys?

Shrug... dunno. But the signs pop up in the spring, like the daffodils!

14. Wow. That's severe.

I've never lived where it got that cold for very long. Down here, we get some bad potholes after an ice storm, but I just thought it was because our roads are crappy.

9. Lost pet signs

Find one that mentions a cash reward and add to that: "Dead or alive"!

10. ASS STANCE or ASS DANCE

every police phone at Harvard has the I scrached off in "ASSISTANCE" One has the S scratched off and replaced with a D. excellent.

12. During the heyday of the Pol Pot regime, there was a group at Yale,

a branch of the Spartacus Youth League, a group so left wingnut that some suspected they were FBI provocateurs, had signs up on campus that advertised a film called something like The Exciting Revolution in Democratic Kampuchea. (Democratic Kampuchea was what Pol Pot renamed Cambodia after taking over.)

Now Yalies could get very ambitious and creative about defacing signs, but this one was subtle and perfect: The Exciting Revolution in "Democratic" Kampuchea

My second prize citation will not mean anything to anyone who has never read earlier editions of Our Bodies Ourselves, but I like it. The sign was posted on the Yale campus and said something like, "Womyn's Dance Saturday Night--Alll Womon-Centered Womyn Welcome." The addition was a pencil-scrawl that said, "In Amerika they call us lousy spellers."

By the way, in the past week or so, someone has been going around Minneapolis/St. Paul adding a sticker that says "Bush" (in white capital letters) to all the Stop signs.

13. In Chapel Hill, NC, I saw a USA Today paper box that

said:

USA Today (in its regular script)
Tomorrow The World (someone added underneath)

15. Deer crossing signs

that always end up with a big Rudolph nose painted on the deer.
