Be careful.  What his bow ties is really a camera.

Sometimes the signs say "Speed Kills" and other times they say "Speed
Cameras".  How does it do that?

I thought "dog" was the verb and "hospital" an adjective.

When the children grow up, they'll be found near signs saying:

SLOW
MEN
WORKING

Then there's the local veterinary clinic sign:
    DOG
 HOSPITAL
    CAT

Recently, the road to my neighborhood sprouted a couple of

SLOW
CHILDREN

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.

I'm a consultant. If you want an opinion I'll sell you one.
Which one do you want?

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.
