obj/sign
verb
Sign()
alert("This is A Sign")

or

usr<<"This is A Sign"

obj/sign
    name = "sign"
    desc = "Something"
    verb/read()
        set src in view()
        usr << "\The [src] reads, \"[src.desc]\""


The name thing isn't really necessary unless something else is overriding it. It allows you to use the same code to make things that behave like signs, but aren't referred to as signs. Keep in mind what usr and src are for your verbs and procs, and for the most part, you'll want to keep usr out of procs. In this case, src is the sign, and usr is the player who uses the read verb on it.

In response to DerDragon
Expanding on DerDragon's code, you can also have:
obj/sign
    name = "sign"
    desc = "Something"
    verb/read()
        set src in view()
        usr << "\The [src] reads, \"[src.desc]\""
    Click()
        usr << "\The [src] reads, \"[src.desc]\""

So that you'll read the sign if you click on it.
