The sign shows that position is everything (and sometimes that's not such a good thing).

The sign is on the Kellog Garden Chinese Restaurant on 38 Kellog Street in Jersey City. The sign reads "We are move to:520 West Side Ave. The restaurant has relocated to that new address. The restaurant is Chinese owned and operated. One has to wonder if the owner went to a Chinese sign maker, his original sign over which the new sign is covering does have Chinese characters or if the proprietor insisted what he wanted to an English speaking sign maker. You can hear the Chinese voice coming from the sign. It may be interesting to telephone the restaurant to find out.

This was on the side of a train car in Mumbai, India, taken when I was there in February.
(Are international photos allowed or just in New York? I'm still baffled about how it's enforced.)

For me, the funniest signs are in England, though never misspelled. The following are my favorites: at a rural pub, PLEASE PARK PRETTILY; on a major highway, CHANGED PRIORITIES AHEAD; on a rural road: COLLECTORS FROG AND TOAD EXHIBITION; in the City of Winchester Magdalen Hill Cemetery: CAR PARK NOW AVAILABLE INSIDE CEMETERY AS A TEMPORARY EXPERIMENT; and these from London streets last month: PLEASE OPEN YOUR BOOT AND BONNET FOR INSPECTION; CYCLE CONTRAFLOW AHEAD; and ARCHES AND PREMISES TO LET.
