The best one I ever saw was in a "devotionalia" shop in Krakow. These
sell rosaries, bibles, figurines, etc. Included in the stuff was a
large (almost half size) painted, plaster cast of the Virgin Mary. One
of the fingers was broken off. There was a price tag, with the original
crossed out and a reduced price underneath, along with the Polish word
for "imperfect".
Even if I could have held the camera steady, it was too dim in there.

I had a shot of a dead-end sign on a cemetery road...
It was on the fridge for a long time at my in-law's place but no tellin
where it is now. Took it a long time ago on my Kodak 110. want to go
back there and see if I can get it again. It's about the only reason
I'd go back to the town where I grew up. nothing left for me there
anymore.

Oh, my. This one comes under the heading of "What were they thinking?"
In Bluff, Utah, a number of years ago I failed to photograph a
combination mortuary and bait shop. The merchant had his tombstones
out on the front lawn. Nailed to a tree among them was a sign reading:
"Night crawlers $1.00." I'll always regret missing that one.
In Jamaica, at the bottom of a hilly road leading up to a mortuary,
graveyard and crematorium, I found two things in unpleasantly close
proximity:
1. A hand-lettered sign for the crematorium
2. A collection of barbecue grills.
All the same colour, at that.
I took the picture.

LOL!
Now that DOES remind me of me :)
One from my book was the Lobo Dog Grooming and Pet Cemetery
in Cortez, Colorado.
