I DO love signs.

(My utmost heartiest greetings!)
The "pistol range" is translated into German on this sign as "Scheiss-Stand".

The little mistake that happend here is: shooting is spelled in German "schiessen", and the thing that you are usally doing on your own, whilst sitting on a toilette is spelled (in a rather vulgar way) "scheissen".
I´m extremely glad, no one realised the little "I and E swap".
I had a good laugh, when I read this sign!
