I've recently been fascinated by 'signs' and am particularly fond of the exclamation: "That's a good sign!"

Good signs indeed!
Interesting to see another Cat's Paw sign (I think I posted one down the street from me in the window of an empty building) - an interesting brand in itself:

"Folks even claim it was Cat’s Paw that identified the bluchers worn by Amelia Earhart, as a pair of shoes found on the island Nikomaroro could be identified by the Cat’s Paw soles, or so NPR reports. And it appears as a clue in murder investigations, including the Waterbury, Conn. Irving Pasternack murder in 1974."

While not a sign in the printed sense it does suggest that misprints can be amusing too! This is from Montreal.

Excellent thread Goldie. That 'sharp edges' sign reduced me to tears of laughter. Here's my contribution;

It wasn't until I began this minor interest in signs that I became aware of the fact that we are overwhelmed by signage.
Previously, I thought that TV commercials were the only bane of our existence, but I now recognize that we can look in no direction without being bombarded by 'signs.'
And without even venturing from the 'burbs to Yonge & Dundas, I find myself in a wonderland of mundane and graphic 'literature.'
Perhaps I'll travel downtown for an overdose!

"Sharp Edges" sign is brilliant.
