I've been amused by this and other failures in punctuation recently. The one I saw today was "No trespassing violators will be prosecuted."
One that you may (or may not) find amusing depending on your political persuasion can be found off the George Washington Memorial Parkway just outside of Washington, D.C. We used to pass it all the time, though I never bothered to take a picture. Although punctuation isn't the issue there, it reads simply: "George Bush Center for Intelligence."

I am sure you find all kinds of gramatical (that might even be one) errors in my writing. I wished I was better, but one day.....maybe!
I've always chuckled at the "slow" sign... I saw a play on it once, deliberately punctuation-less, I think: "slow grandparents at play."
