Has anyone seen any amusing warnings? I only ask because I saw the following at a party tonight, and several people interpretated it in alternative ways...

I'm assuming you're drunk, for you to make such an appalling spelling mistake, Rod!

Shush

I can't remember where or when, but I once saw on the back of a filthy-looking van someone had written "If only my wife was this dirty" - I found that quite amusing for a few moments.

Unfortunately, the only comical things I read are the receipts from various shops - the moment I see what I've actually spent usually puts me in fits of mental laughter.

My friend worked in the local co-op, he handed me my receipt and he told me to read the bottom.

"WE'VE CUT OUR PRICES ON LOOSE BANANAS"

...apparantly, it's their best spelling item.

This is absolutely true I promise thee.

Me and a friend were moping around town as board little brats do (this was a few years ago), and stomachs started to rumble.

We went to a baguette shop round the corner...

"Closed for Lunch"

I liked the lorry for the manure company with "Same shit; different day" on the back of it.

Saw an advert in the Yellow pages a while ago for a skip/rubbish clearance company.

The text?

Ring <number> and let's talk rubbish.

Can't remember where I saw it but years ago I saw the line under a hairdresser's logo 'We curl up and Dye for you'

Made me laugh
