There's a simple red and white sign, an advertisement, on a telephone pole that I pass twice a day on my way to and from work. Even though I actually made a point of checking to get it right, my brain (which is inclined to like silly images) insists on misreading it about half the time.
What it actually offers is a *Kickboxing and Karate Special!*
What I keep reading and envisioning is a *Kickboxing and Karaoke Special!*
I think my version would be a LOT more entertaining. Just imagine it... *EG*

Back up in NH, on the outskirts of Keene, there was a telephone pole with a sign nailed to it saying Keene Tree. I kept meaning to get a picture of it, never did.
For that matter, I've always loved the signs on the side of the road that say "Do Not Pass". Why aren't there enormous permanent traffic jams at those signs?

Snort! Not enough literalists in the world? :)

Used to be a No Passing Zone sign a couple of towns over that someone had scraped
the P off of. The sign got replaced eventually. :(

Winchester NH also had a bridge that was permanently closed for no reason I knew of, and as a result had a permanent sign saying Bridge Closed - until someone with a bit of paint turned it into Bridge Cloned. I figured this and the tree were examples of NH genetic manipulation, which might also have explained some of the local PEOPLE...
