Funny Signs, Bananas Banners, and Loony Logos
Ever seen an unintentionally funny sign that made you go "What?!!"
Perhaps you remember the infamous "Cruise Ships Use Airport Exit" freeway sign outside of San Diego?
This lens is dedicated to the weird phrases that people try to cram onto billboards, banners, and signs.
It is inspired by the fabulous old FunnySign.com website.
If you have any funny signs, please upload them to a Flickr account (they're free!) and then submit them at the bottom of the page.
