There's a thread on the general board about goofy konglish and just to balance things, here's the goofiest English sign I've ever seen

NOTICE Please check out the Trojan warning regarding this link further down in the posts.

The sign is for an actual town festival in Canada, and the people there are well aware of the standard meaning, but refuse to change the name.

I once saw a road sign in Canada that said "Interesting Intersection Ahead"... well we got to the intersection and there was nothing particularly interesting about it Confused

In Pennsylvania in the US there is an Amish town called Blue Ball. The next town down the road is strangely enough called Intercourse. You've gotta figure surely there's a way of merging those two towns to keep ALL the locals happy. Very Happy

Back in my home town in Canada, the dry cleaner's sign read:

Drop your pants here

It made my day. ( We actually have the photo of my friend with his pants around his ankles standing next to the sign.)

As a teacher, this image may touch you in a special way. On the other hand, I hope to God it doesn't. Shocked

Dildo is a real town, about an hour away from St. John's, Newfoundland. I went there once to have some fun, but it really was a pretty town. The town's name predates the, uh, product.

At my campus bar there was a girl from there, and she was the butt of a lot of jokes. "She has no boyfriend, so it's back to her Dildo for the weekend." "You can take the woman out of Dildo, but you can't take the Dildo out of the woman."

I wonder if the word Dildo is going to get beeped here? Cool
