A sign in front of a local restaurant advertised, "Alcoholic's drinks".
But, my favorite example was the result of a combination of poorly chosen
wording and circumstance:
The sign read, "Water on Road". It just so happened that, as I drove by, a
man was standing behind the sign doing exactly that (the lower-middle part
of his body was blocked by the sign, but nothing else was)!
