It seems like most of your posts are official signs, not handwritten ones, but I think this one's extra special because the combination of a misused apostrophe and a badly placed period make it seem like Mad Libs!

It hurts my eyes, but apparently apostrophes can be validly used after acronyms. CD's, ATM's, etc. Yuck.
That's definitely one of those "iffy" areas; I'm on the side of "if you don't *need* the apostrophe to clarify what you're referring to, don't add it" -- so, CDs, ATMs, etc. However, if you only had a supply of uppercase letters with which to create a sign, CDS, ATMS, etc. I could see having to use one to make it more readable.
This one's hand-written, though!
I still loved the Mad Libs aspect of this sign. :)
