There is a sign on the door of my GP surgery that says:
"Please do not post samples through the letterbox".

Grin

I just keep wondering if there's a story behind it? Presumably someone has actually posted urine/stool samples through after hours (who does that?). Has someone trodden in them?

Or perhaps someone posted a dog turd through (one only needs to read the reviews to know which GP that'd be aimed at...) and they are being super polite or naive referring to it as a "sample"?

Is it just me? I had to sit there in the waiting room trying not to laugh out loud, which made it worse...

Bin50 One that always makes me laugh is when a booklet page has printing on saying "this page has intentionally been left blank".

Yes, it's a sort of impossible logical conundrum. They have intentionally printed that on it, so it's not been left intentionally blank at all...

Not a sign, but an advertising board that I drive by for a local jeweller. Has a pic of said jeweller looking at a diamond through that magnifying thing they use. Then in huge letters "From my eye to your finger". Don't know why but I snort every

I walked passed a lapdancing club recently which was covered in scaffolding which had a small sign reading "don't worry, we're still open" or something to that effect. The "don't worry" absolutely killed me

Years ago, in Monsoon "Closed due to Flooding".

my mum currently has a post it note on her toaster. It says:

Screw in the pink egg cup.

It makes me laugh every time I see it. I jut keep asking her where she wants me to screw it into.

and there is one I used to use for kids at school:

Danger!
No swimming allowed.

or

Danger?
No! Swimming allowed.

Spotting this sign at Randalls Park Crematorium in Leatherhead lifted the mood somewhat, at my aunt's funeral a few years ago

I saw one in Tesco once that said "the cauliflowers have been relocated by the mushrooms", which had me imagining mushrooms with little wheel barrows pushing the caulis to their new location.

And an intentional funny one in Sainsbury that had various onions on, which said "we have seven types of onion (it listed them with pics)......and that shallot!"
