There was a small trailer park near me that had a sign that Read:

Dead End
Slow Children
Playing

Thanks to a graffiti pranksters it was changed to:

Dead
   Children
Playing

Recently, the road to my neighborhood sprouted a couple of

SLOW
CHILDREN
PLAYING

signs.

I thought we weren't allowed to call them "slow" anymore.

This brings to mind a sign posted in front of a parking place at the
four corners in the center of town:

    NO
 PARKING
 POLICE
   CARS
   ONLY

For whatever reason, there was often a police car parked there.

Signs saying

"No loitering in lobby
  by management"

are posted all over the vestibule of a downtown drugstore I frequent.

I do not think it means what they think it means.
