When I lived in Houston (not so long ago), I was rather fond of a particular
sign on I45 between the airport and my apartment. I always went past it
coming home from the airport. The sign was behind a large (used?) car lot.
The sign was about 30 feet long and as high as a building. It said:
                           
           "OWNER HAS BRAIN DAMAGE"

I always wondered whether it hurt or helped business. This sign has been there
for ages. It made National Lampoon at least once.

Another sign I have only seen in National Lampoon is one near where my parents
live. It says:
