Some silly bugger always seems to decide it's hilarious (which it often is) to change the letters on a sign so it says something else. What are the best you've seen?

(Removed text in white.)
Outside a bar-Play [/color]poo[/color]l[/color] here![/color]
After a small river- Try y[/color]our[/color] b[/color]rakes![/color]
On a forest trail- No publ[/color]ic pat[/color]h.[/color]
And in the wilds of scotland- Every 'caution, deer' sign for 30 miles of empty road had a large red nose stuck on the deer.

I lived on base in base housing while I was stationed @ NAS Lemoore in central California. The different neighborhoods had different names and the officer's block was called stone park. Someone put an r at the end of stone...When I first read that driving by I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard.
