These signs are hilarious. Mentioning proof reading reminded me of a newspaper report a few years ago. It related to a robbery that had taken place and ended with "Constable x is a detective in the police farce". they realised their mistake as a few days later there was a correction , "Constable x is, of course, a defective in the police force".

The 'If you can't read....' one reminds me of when the NUT produced a bumper sticker 'If you can read this, thank a teacher' and the school rep had it on his car. Naturally, we got lots of kids to go up to him and ask what it said! He couldn't see the funny side, oddly enough.

I always chuckle at a spoof sign that was supposed to be at Northampton General Hospital
It was a direction sign for "The Family Planning Advice Clinic"
Underneath it said,"Please use the Rear Door" Chortlesplutter. :-)
