At one time I worked in a fire hydrant factory.  I developed a mobility problem and had to quit because I couldn't park anywhere near the place.

Once I went to see a movie and I parked in a tow away zone.  When the movie ended I tried to get back to my car but it was really confusing.  The entire area was gone.

Ever seen a blue sign that reads "Hospital Parking"?  I didn't know they could be parked, let alone driven.

And how about the truck stops that bear a sign saying "Eat here, get gas"?

Most states I've been in have scales on the roads for trucks.  Sometimes the scales are open and there is usually a state trooper there to weigh the rigs and fine them if they violate weight restrictions.  In Iowa they have a peculiar sign.  It reads:

Weigh Station Ahead - All trucks over 6,000 pounds must weigh.  

I always wondered about those signs.  All trucks over 6,000 pounds must weigh - Hmm - must weight what?  A lot?

My favorite highway traffic sign is the one that says "No Left Turn".  Not only does it tell you that doing so is a violation of the law it also gives some sound advice.

  I was referring to the kinds of signs that one would read, so if you were blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other then you wouldn't even know that there was a one there.

A man has a family heirloom.  It is a grandfather clock.  For over 100 years the clock, as long as it remained in a wound condition, would most dutifully tell time and sound off with a rhythmic tick-tock tick-tock.  One day the ticking stopped.  Now it just went tick tick tick tick.

There was a clock shop in a small town near to where the man lived.  He loaded the clock into his pick-up truck and drove to the clock repair shop.  He brought the clock in and was greeted by the owner, an older man with a German accent.  "vat can I do for you"? he asked".  The man said "listen to my clock".  The clock repair man said "Zo, vat seems to be ze problem"?  The man says" listen to it.  "It is missing its tock".  "It only goes tick tick and it used to go tick tock."  ”I want it to go tick-tock again"

The old man said "zo, I zee, I zee".  With that he went into the back room and brought out a large flash light.  The man though he needed better light.  The old man then shined the light right into the face of the clock and said "Ve have vays uf making you tock".
