(If you're feeling feisty, you can add "Redo from Start.")

This is an actual sign in Amherst, Nova Scotia, but vandalized:
Quote
DANGER
FALLING mICE
I think it's a vast improvement.

Would it be "Danger: Falling rIce" for confirmed bachelors entering a potential hotbed of romance?

You must be this high to drive on this road.

Two absolutely true ones.  Near my house is a stop sign, says STOP in big black letters.

Under it, someone has written HAMMER TIME.


At the top of the road I grew up on is, unusually for the Isle of Man, a hill.  At the top of the hill is a 19th century village called Cregneish which, no lie, a friend of mine was once paid to live in as part of a living history project. 

At the bottom of the road to the village, there are two signs.  One says

CREGNEISH HERITAGE VILLAGE

the other says

CREGNEASH HERITAGE VILLAGE

Either that or at the bottom of a Cliff with a Chinese restaurant on the edge at the top
