At a Santa Fe gas station: We will sell gasoline to anyone in a glass container

At an optometrist's office: If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place.

Church sign: To remove worry wrinkles, get your faith lifted.

In a Laundromat: Automatic washing machines. Please remove all your clothes when the light goes out.

In a Tacoma, Washington men's clothing store: 15 men's wool suits - $100 - They won't last an hour!

In the front yard of a funeral home: Drive carefully. We’ll wait.

On a fence: Salesmen welcome. Dog food is expensive.

Outside a country shop in West Virginia: We buy junk and sell antiques.

Outside a Hotel: Help! We need inn-experienced people.

Outside a second-hand store: We exchange anything - bicycles, washing machines etc. Why not bring your wife along and get a wonderful bargain.

In a toilet: Toilet out of order. Please use floor below.

In a farmer’s field: The farmer allows walkers to cross the field for free, but be aware that the bull charges.

:P That's a great one!

I like the inn-experienced one up above. It takes a clever, clever mind to think of that. Well...that or just a silly one.

Though that wasn't intentional.

I saw a pic of one once where it was in a train station in Japan and the sign said something in Japanese and then in english said,

"For toilet look back toward your behind"

Or something similar
