One last one and then I'll stop. Southern New Jersey, somewhere around Toms River, I think.

East 58th Street, north side: sign says "push," but the original metal handle says "pull." (Push works).

West New York NJ. And, I wish I had a picture of it (don't) but my favorite sign ever was the specials list at a local chinese restaurant advertising "Beef With Human Flavor". Loved the place but never tried it :)

I saw this sign for the Sarnath Children's Academy in Sarnath, India. The sign boasts that it is an English-Medium School which will "Make Your Child Indiffirent." Oh the irony, oh India.

2/7/08, north side of West 56th Street, just east of 6th Avenue.

(hope this is the right picture; there's no way I can see it to check -- should be a sign: no appointment necessary, or some variants of the word necessary).
