Funny Signs, etc.

This is a collection of amusing road signs, advertisements, and other funny sights. These were collected from around the Internet, though I wish I'd spotted them all myself.

A seemingly pointless traffic light and sign. Why did they even bother?

Pick a direction, any direction.

Another conflicting set of instructions.

If I had painted this sign, I would have just rounded up.

Wow. Thanks for telling us. I'm sure we wouldn't have known otherwise.

Not the most encouraging message.

This would get my attention.

I hope it isn't a very serious emergency.

This might be a joke. It's hard to tell.

The essential choice.

I'm forced to wonder who came up with this one.

Our tax dollars at work.

Maybe they aren't in season.

It's not a secret any more.

Now open for tours.

An unfortunate choice of name.

This place is probably right across the street from the first one.

There has to be some other way to advertise a restaurant and a gas station.

Father's Day is just around the corner.

I don't think any of my friends would go for this.

This was written by someone who was either extremely innocent or extremely stupid.

The dealers are becoming more and more brazen every day.

A terrible coincidence of placement.

A decidedly poor choice of typeface.

Now here's a movie I don't want to see.

Another horrible thought.

At least they're honest enough to admit it.

Apparently the other places hired all the losers, forcing this establishment to go even lower.

An unfortunate spelling error.

Could I? Please?

Whatever that means.

I think the idea is something along the lines of 'this toy is dangerous.' But it's hard to tell.

Sounds like a fun place to play.

Thanks for the tip. I was just about to take a big drink.

I've heard calls for comprehensive testing for all students, but this is going too far.

This seems like cruel and unusual punishment.
