Here are a few that I have come across:

There was a sign pointing to 'Peeple's Body Shop'. But the shop was behind a cemetery and the sign was pointing right to the cemetery.


'Kentucky Fried Chicken"® used to have large neon signs. Apparently one circuit of neon lights was on the K-E-N-T and the other circuit was on the U-C-K-Y. The 'Kent' side was burned out, leaving....

SC has two neighboring towns in mid-state, one called 'Clinton' and the other called 'Prosperity'. When you come to the 'T' in the road, the signs say:

Clinton --->
<--- Prosperity

*Tattoos while you wait* is one of my favorites.

I believe that one originated with Tattoo Charlie here in Louisville, many years ago.

Outside the city, one county over, is the Esprit Arabian Breeding Center, producing fine Arabian horses. Our esteemed highway department put up a sign that spelled it "Espirt".

I've posted this before, but one night many years ago I was driving through a small town downstate and passed the big sign, made of individual lighted letters, of the Black Angus Restaurant. Guess which letter had burned out.
 
The W was burned out at a local business's sign, so at night, in bold red letters it read:

THE ORK CONNECTION
 
The husband of a cousin of mine once sent me a large picture of a huge sign outside a clairvoyant's house in Louisiana that said:

PLAM READING

I'm still trying to figure out what a "plam" is and why anyone should read it.

I wish I had a picture...

At a restaurant parking lot the handicapped space had the symbol of a guy in a wheelchair, but the wheel was painted around the guy's head and it was labeled "Handy Cap".

This was in the paper: A Burger King restaurant in the heart of SC was closed with a notebook paper sign on the door that said:

Closed
No Meet

I assume the person putting up the sign was the same one that was supposed to order the 'meet'. Management material.

I used to drive by this restaurant in Tujunga several times a week; smiled every time.

Friend of mine, years ago, managed a small grocery. He had a special on spuds running one week, and the sign outside said, "WHITE POT 5LBS 2.99". The parking lot always seemed to have a lot of quick in-and-out traffic. Some people seemed to be cursing as they left.

No, I made up the part about the parking lot. :D
