The Blog of Unnecessary Quotation Marks. These guys take photos of signs that seem to have...well...unnecessary quotation marks.

(See, if this was TV Tropes I'd link to the Exactly What It Says On The Tin page)

Anyway, a few of these are quite funny.

A cafeteria sign: Please don't waste "food items".

PNQ: Why can't the sign just say "Please don't waste food?"

A dance center sign: Come visit our "state of the art" facility...

PNQ: How can a dance center be state of the art anyway? It's just a few kinds of flooring, some handrails, and proper lighting, right?

A sign: "Wet." "Paint."

PNQ: So it may or may not be wet, and it may or may not be paint?

And so on...

Sa'ar Chasm on the 5M.net forum: Sit back, relax, and revel in the insanity.

Adam Savage: I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Crow T. Robot: Oh, stop pretending there's a plot. Don't cheapen yourself further.
