The Simpsons animators provide lots of sight gags in every episode. Some of the best sight gags are the signs we see around Springfield. A few months ago, a fan from About.com's forum issued a challenge to fans of The Simpsons to post their favorite signs at the The Simpsons posting board. Following is that hysterical list of favorite Springfield signs.
