I saw this sign on the north side of the Thames, returning from Greenwich. It was on a storage facility, and I barely saw it out of the corner of my eye before we floated downstream past it on the ferry. Here is what I did catch.
It says "Danger: If you must enter these premises UNINVITED, will you please remove your dentures.
OMG -i just discovered this thread! I love signage and have even made a keyword for it. Because I live abroad and travel a bit, one of the things I love to photograph are interesting English translations. Here's one I found a few years ago by a path at Kursunlu Waterfall in Turkey:
Now I ask you, does anyone know what STRINK means or could mean?

Sometimes, I suppose, sin is in the eye-of-the-beholder... his "sin" was a too-loud volume on his speaker.

I think this barn must have had an interesting owner. I didn't understand the sign on the roof when I photographed it in the spring of 2008. I couldn't even read the sign until I ran it through Topaz to bring out the contrast in the roof painting.

Otherwise, my philosophy is; the best way to survive reality, is to know the enemy...
Not true...I have learned from you and others and draw constant inspiration from yours!
I am glad though now I finally understand what 420 friendly means on craigs list.

I actually had a similar shot that I lost when I lost my slides......it was a cab in Vegas....one side it had commercial for 'Jesus Saves', other side had an advertisement for nude club!

I've always been fascinated by this set of hand-lettered signs in Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH. There are two sets of restrooms in the park, the larger of the two open only during the warm months of the year. The other set might be open year-round, but only during the day.
A sign not too far from the seasonally open restrooms:
If you happen to find the other restrooms, you will see this:
I suppose the individual who is tasked with unlocking these can't be bothered with walking over to the building in not ideal weather.
