Hmm, not sure I can get down to Fountain for that one (Google told me where it is).
I do have one in mind, but I probably won't be able to get it until Wednesday. Won't be as good as that one, though.

This is way before your time. The cartoonist (Marjorie Henderson Buell, pen name Marge) who did the “Little Lulu” comic series in the 1930s-40s had a character named “Tubby” who eventually was spun off into his own comic series.
This is one of the covers...

I went to get one today. In Knoxville, we have a Rush Limbaugh Ln. I thought that was kind of funny (though not surprising for East Tennessee). However, when I got there the sign had been changed to Limbaugh Lane. So I passed.

That’s still pretty weird, in Google maps it’s identified as Rush Limbaugh Ln. I wonder if someone complained about the sign.

No doubt!

A little late...
Got a flag pic just by accident on Memorial Day with my new (to me) Runner.

Sorry that I couldn't get to Fountain to get a shot of the "A Dog Will Lick His Butt..." sign. I did, however, swing by a couple of local roads that I've always thought had humorous names.
Sorry also that I was driving the Wrangler today and not the 4Runner; but in the interest of keeping the game moving...
The first is Jackass Hill Road. Unfortunately, the only place where there's actually a street sign for it is at a busy intersection. So I had to take the picture from inside while waiting for the light.
The other is Yank Place. Not sure why I find this street name to be humorous, but I do.
I'll leave the challenge the same to see if someone can come up with something better, and with their 4Runner.

Thanks for keeping it the same Paul, you saved me from (again) getting bruced twice in the same day on my motorcycle game.

Well I just got back from getting my interpretation of the challenge. I couldn't find a "humorous" street around here (and I looked at a shitload of maps, there is even an online resource that gives you every street alphabetically in a community and I checked every community in the county against it and couldn't really find anything...)
So I went for this. Individually they are not significant, but put together, it's a true statement. McDonald's is effing Gross!
Also this is my 4Runner's mirror. Well, actually, it is a Subaru base model mirror but it's in my 4Runner (because I hate the auto-dimming contraption).
Next up, your machine with a sign promoting you to slow down or drive safely or some version of that. I'm not looking for a speed limit sign, or a "curve" arrow... rather a neighborhood installed, folksy kind of warning that you are driving like an *******. I would accept those 3 foot tall neon plastic kids waving flags, too. Like this, from my 'hood:

Yank Street has no outlet. You could argue it has no inlet either, otherwise it wouldn't be necessary to yank...

We have a neighbor that routinely puts one of those out so their kids can play in the street. I won't post a photo of that though - it would be too easy. Although, I could get the whole fleet in the picture if I did.

Looked this up. It is a private sign. Here is a link to google street view: Google Maps
I'm back also! (Saxainpdx is old name) will be more active! Came to see if this game was still going.

OK, I couldn't resist. Here's a shot looking through our fleet of 4x4 vehicles at the flag-waving neon plastic kid that the people across the street put up when their non-neon kids play in the street.
Since all I had to do was back the cars out of the garage to get this shot, and to give someone a chance to post a better sign, I'll leave the challenge the same, except that neon plastic kids waving flags are no longer allowed.
