Many moons ago in Osaka I saw an older woman with the word "fuck"
written on the baseball cap she was wearing. It was quite funny and I
wondered if her grandkids got her the hat as a sort of gag gift.

My favorite sign along these lines was on one of those massive
roadside maps that you find in the touristy mountain areas. This one
was on Mt. Rokko (at the upper terminus of the rokko cog rail). It had
the large red dot to tell you where you were, and said "your shitting
place."
