All sorts of fun with language.

As a starting point, Acronym Fail:
Commissioner of Reykjavik Area Police
(apocryphal)Perkin Elmer Network Information Services
Critical Update Notification Tool

Carl-E:
My great grandfather was a German immigrant who loved his second language.  I only visited his home once, I was about 11 or 12, and he'd been dead since before I was born, but his son (my great-uncle) still lived there. 

Going to the basement to see the presses (he was a printer), I noticed there was a cardboard cutout of a duck tacked on the wall above the doorway. 


As soon as the words, "What's that there for?" left my mouth, I hid my head on the top of the low door frame. 


Gotta appreciate a man who can come up with something like that in a different language...

Is it cold in here?:
Great parking signs:

"NO GENIE PARKING"
"RESERVED PATIENT PARKING ONLY" (so where do the outgoing patients park?)

Carl-E:
... and what about the patients who don't have reservations ?

Redball:
To me, wordplay means puns. Someone want to start, maybe based on characters, or other strip-related stuff? Or I will myself, Svenever one comes to mind.
