Here's my contribution. Many of the others at this web site are pretty funny or odd as well.

Once when I made a visit to Ottawa, the friend with whom I was staying took me on a little drive to Parliament Hill. On the road by the Parliament buildings there is a stop sign. Right next to it is one of those parking-rules signs that says "No stopping at any time".
Of course, this IS Ottawa......

In a northside Chicago park; Dogs riding bicycles and skateboarding forbidden. Too bad, I'd like to have seen that.

Pinned to the derrier of the passenger on a Harley Davidson driving up the NY Throughway, a store-bought sign reading "Baby On Board"

For how much?

It may be rice beer to you, but it's sake to me.

SPLASH!!

It may be a wall plug to you, but it's a socket to me.

SPLASH.

It may be a bike gear to you, but it's a sprocket to me.

SPLASH!

It may be HH Munro to you, but it's Saki to me.

SPLASH!

He may be a heavy-weight boxing champ to you, but he's a Sharkey to me.

SPLASH!

Gosh, I miss Laugh-in. Even after all these years.

It may be Expo 70 to you, but it's Osaka to me!
Splash!

Laugh-In was the first indication of a generation gap between me and my husband. He remembers the half-hour truncated reruns - I was around for the first season, and actually ALLOWED to stay up to watch it!

I remember laugh in well enough, but not this routine.

They tried a rerun several years ago and, although we used to laugh hysterically, it just didn't work anymore for me. Ah well.

My favorite "sock it to me" line from Laugh-In was when Nixon came back on and said "Ok, you can stop now."
