Or you could be blasted by the powerful spells of Gandalf:  Or be ambushed by a truly wild bunch of Russians (poster for a game):  (image credit: Nikolai Dichtyarenko) Or lured into the untimely death by a funeral home advertisement:  Or imperil your offsprings by the bouts of irresponsible drinking:  After all this excitement you might need to put your pants through a wash:  And remember, the Big Brother is watching you:  No matter what you do, or where you hide:  More of the good old highway entertainment:     And a couple of the STOP signs to chill your soul:   Finally, a no-brainer:  And a cool store for your Fluffy:  CONTINUE TO PART 2

Funny signs. I really like the first one and the jeans tag.
I just wanted to clarify a bit: The sign you have named "stop" in fact is "no entry". In Russia and some other ex-USSR countries in slang its called "brick".
Some DIY geniuses made such signs nearby their country houses. You can see one more example here:

The Pittsburgh sign is referring to the town of Moon, PA. As opposed to the town of Mars, PA, which is elsewhere.
