Have you ever seen a funny billboard or sign? What was it?

The reason this question came up is because I was just drive back from an off site meeting and there was a billboard for a chili fest. The slogan for it was "challenge your colon."

There was a sign downtown a few years back that was kinda like a personals ad.  It had a brief description of a single guy that was supposedly a millionaire looking for love.

I don't think I have. I find most of the clever billboards pretty dumb.

No but this reminds me, when we were little my parents were driving us up to Maine for vacation.  We a stopped at a hotel to stay and they had one of those black signs with white letters that you can move around to spell what you want.  It was supposed to say FREE HOT BREAKFAST and somehow someone had mangled it to say FREE WET BREASTS.

I realize now my previous comment makes me sound snobby or something. Apologies, I've been having a rough day.

@ilovecatsandknitting *hugs* so sorry it's a rough day!

I've never seen this one in person, but when I was a kid a friend brought us a photo of this one

I'm sure I've seen more, I'm just too tired to think.

It's sad. For as much as I've traveled and lived in the city, I'm drawing a blank right now on any of them off the top of my head.

I'm sure I have, especially while drive in the middle of nowhere upstate NY, I just can't think of any right now.

Hope your day got better @ilovecatsandknitting

It wasn't really funny, but on the way to Syracuse, NY there is a hand painted billboard on the Onondaga Indian Nation property letting you know that you are in their territory and how the white man has suppressed them for many years.  It was wordy, so it took me like 5 drive bys to read the entire thing.

I can't remember any funny ones but last summer when I was on maternity leave I was driving home one afternoon and passed MYSELF on a billboard lol. It was myself, the other audiologist and the 3 ENTs I work with. I actually turned around to get a picture of it! We all knew our company was doing advertising but we figured newspaper/magazine , not billboard!
