In summary, the conversation discusses funny instances where people have changed the letters on signs to create humorous messages. Examples include changing a sign that says "Play pool here!" to "Pay pool here!" and adding a red nose to "Caution, deer" signs in Scotland. The conversation also mentions a personal experience with a sign that was altered to read "Stone Park" instead of "Stone Park" causing the person to laugh while driving.

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 pool here!
After a small river- Try your brakes!
On a forest trail- No public path.
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.

I cannot condone vandalism of any kind. While it may seem amusing to some, altering signs can be dangerous and misleading for those who rely on them for important information. Additionally, it is a form of property damage and goes against the principles of respecting public property. I urge individuals to find other ways to express their humor without causing harm or inconvenience to others.
