You know that I love to take photos, and as a spreadsheet making, hoarding organizer, put it in a box and check it off kind of person, I like to collect sets of things, especially photos. I take photos of trails, trees, flowers, roads, houses, animals and everything in between. One of the things I take the most photos of (besides running paths, trails and vistas) is
signs. I take photos of them everywhere. Sometimes it's fun to interpret pictures that are not accommodated by words; sometimes the language barrier makes the sign have a different meaning; sometimes the grammar makes the sign amusing. I like them all!

What makes a sign funny to you? What's the funniest sign you have seen? Does bad grammar on signs make you cringe/laugh/whip out your camera?
ha-great photos! I think I should start something similar!
ReplyDeleteThose are great. I love the irony/fresh ideas signs :)
ReplyDeleteHa, those are great! I never encounter funny signs like you do, so I always enjoy it when you post ones you have seen.

ReplyDeleteSo funny! Thanks for the giggle.
ReplyDeleteThose are some priceless signs. I love the no poop one, myself. There used to be a cleaners I'd pass on my way home from work with a big sign out front: Drop Your Pants Here! hahaha.
ReplyDeleteLoved them all.
ReplyDeleteI love messed up signs. I always wonder how many comments they get, but I never ask.
