A new book, Signs of Life (which I can't find on Amazon yet), features photographs of spoof signs.

I love the sign that said 'Pull lever to pour gravy on sausages located in driver's compartment', and the emergency travel companion.

I must have that book. "Disappointing Ruins" was my favourite.

The Dissapointing Ruins was great, but I also love the concept of a stresstwig. Also, any jokes involving banana peels, I am still down with.

"Oxygen comsuption above permitted levels within office space will be deduced from your monthly salary."

Oh wow, that is co clveer and for sure a sign that I would imediately deduce to be a produce of our in-hous sing deportment.

It lacks the subtle sense of authority of these, but I'm a big fan of this sign.

I, too, must have this book.

By the way, related: design your own safety sign (I actually love when it says "Danger: your custom wording")

This book on Amazon? Maybe there's no publishing deal for the book outside of the UK.

"Disappointing Ruins" was my favourite.

Mine too. It's because it's so often true with these things.
