The local newspaper's travel section runs photographs from Signspotting.com (http://www.signspotting.com/). These are commonly English signs found in non-English speaking countries, and are always hilarious.

For example, today was a photograph of a public trashcan that was labeled "Please Waste."

The web site will e-mail you a photo each month from their book, which I'm tempted to buy.
