I find it interesting that they would even have to post a sign. People are usually dying to get into the places.
Maybe you should leave a note suggesting EBay.

Was that an intended pun? hehehe....very good!

Well a quick entry from my old p&s shots is this one. Not artistic in the slightest but I still thought it was a funny sign to put in a ferry port.

China is fertile ground for interesting signs.

"why lie"
Why lie?

"stop"

Maybe this doesn't qualify as a sign, but is a wonderful in-package ad I found inside a shop in Iruya, Salta, Argentina (a tiny village in the middle of the mountains). A loose translation reads: "Insecticide ('flycide', actually) with sexual attractant. Attracts them by love, and kills them without mercy".



The photo is horrible, but I had to do it really quick and there was near no light inside the 'store'.

I just had to submit this shot for the signs assignment, I just love the colors and visual impact of this collection of signs.
