OT - What's your favorite sign?

I just saw a post that reminded me of one of my favorite signs... thought I'd start a thread.
What sign stands out in your memory?

I remember a sign on a penny jar in a deli that read:

Have a penny, give a penny.
Need a penny, take a penny.
Need two pennies, get a damn job!

I had a similar sign next to the penny jar in my gas station in response to those momos I had grabbing a handful like it was free money for the taking....not just to help those who pumped over a penny or two. These were adults, mind you.....
Need a penny, take a penny.
Need 2? Take 2.
Need 3? Get a job!

Mine was a sign at a small airport in Tonopah NV. I had just stopped for fuel but we decided to take a short break and so went into the cafe/operations/control bldg.
They served food but when I asked for coffee I was pointed to a large urn with about a dozen cups stacked around the base. There was a sign that said
"Coffee $0.25 per hour"

When I was a Bartender many moons ago I had plenty of young men ask me "What's your sign?" My response? "STOP SIGN". Always got a laugh and usually a good tip!

Mine was in a Mom and Pop country store. The kind where you went to get the local gossip and there was a slab of room temperature cheese you could buy by the slice. On the front door at eye level was a sign that read:

"If you are going to rob us, please remove your dentures. Our doberman can't digest them"

Yes they had a doberman.

In New Hampshire, there is a town named Weare (pronouced like where). There is also a South Weare and a North Weare. When in the center of town, there used to be a traffic sign that read:

So Weare -->
<-- No Weare

No lie!

Play on words (not Abbott and Costello):

"So, where do you come from?"
"Weare."
"That's what I'm asking, where?"
"Correct."

Years ago, a friend gave me a bumper sticker-like sign, that I put on the window of my front door:

INSURED BY SMITH & WESSON.

My other favorite is a plaque my late husband had over his bench at work:

"Lead, Follow, or Get Out of My Way."

One more, on the door of a local pawn shop:

"These premises are guarded with a shot gun four days a week.
You guess which four."

Cheers!

Here's another

When I was visiting the U.S. Virgin Islands, there was a beatufiul church on this tiny little side street. There was a stop sign out front of the church that was about 3 times the normal size of a stop sign. It said:

THOU SHALT STOP...


I further sayeth naught.

There is a Bar and Package store somewhere around Lake City, Fl. The bar is out front and the package store is in the back. The name of the Bar is Wedgies.

The sign reads: Wedgies Bar
