My favorite two signs at the lab where I work read:

Just outside my building:

     BEES
DO NOT PROVOKE

and just off the entry hallway

 SENTIENT PROJECT ROOM
Please leave door locked
Both are apparently without any sense of irony.

I can't help but read the top part of this sign in the East Village (NYC) as a pair of compound adjectives modifying a plural noun.

Well damn, apparently LJ *still* doesn't let OpenID-based logins post links in comments :(

another sign that always made me chuckle was on the inner face of an exterior door at a place i worked. The sign said "Do Not Open! This Door is Alarmed!"

And then in handwriting next to it: "Poor door! Who alarmed the door?"

And then in a different handwriting: "it'll be ok, door, it'll be ok"

well, the links work in email. but here they aren't showing up that way. Definitely an OpenID apartheid.

I like that sign too!
