No, but some small satisfaction in yelling at them.

-Saw a sign on Gabriola Island declaring it to be a nuclear weapons free zone.  Kudos to the plucky Gabriolans for keeping nukes off-island!

No, but I saw one that said "Illiterate? Write for a free brochure."

Not really nonsensical but fun nontheless is the sign in stores and resturants that say: shoes (shirts) must be worn, to which I ask: I've only been wearing these shoes (or shirt as the case may be) for 2 days are they worn enough?

"Please do not flush anything down the toilet except toilet paper" - sign in a Saskatoon restaurant. (How exactly does one do this? - empty out all the contents first?).
