There's a bunch of these type of things in Jay Leno's "Headlines" segment and I have a book of excerpts from that. Also, National Lampoon's "True Facts" section has some books collecting some funny but true bits, including the "missing letters" (from signs) department:

COLON(Y) CLEANERS
(M)ASS DEPT OF REVENUE
MARC'S BI(G) BOY COFFEE SHOP
G(R)EEK VILLAGE
PAIN(T) 10 TO 50 PER CENT OFF
GOODWIVES (S)HOPPING


And there's one I can't really post directly as it appears but it's for a fast food restaurant and I'll leave you to
figure out what letter someone "stole":
NOW HIRING ALL SHIFTS --BE PART OF OUR TEAM
(hint) letter was taken from fourth word)

And then there was PENNI'S MARKET in Marblehead, MA.
For some reason, everyone kept taking one of the "N's"
from the name...
On a motel: HOT? COME TAKE A SWIM IN OUR POO(L)

COLON(Y) CLEANERS

One time I was driving across Indiana at night, in the middle of farm country, and miles ahead I could see one of those gigantic gas station signs that stands about 100 feet in the air, with each letter of the name a separate unit, intended to be seen from a huge distance.

The only problem was that this one was a "SHELL" sign, and the "S" was burnt out. So in the pitch dark, I found myself driving for nearly 20 minutes towards a monstrous red-and-orange sign proclaiming, "HELL".

I always doubt these things are real.

I always used to like those Kermit Schafer blooper books until I read one that I knew for a fact wasn't true.

After that, I always assume these things are made up unless they include an actual citation--and I don't always believe them even then.

While driving through PA once, I saw a LARGE crane. The sign on it said:

Adam's Steel Erection

When I was in college, the varsity bowling team did a fund raiser that was an all-you-can-eat spaghetti feed. They advertised it in the university student newspaper like this:

Varsity Blowing Team -- all you can eat spaghetti feed $3.
