DUMB SIGNS
In Whittier, CA there is a bank called Quaker City Savings Bank. During the earthquake a few years ago the "r" fell off of Quaker. They decided to leave it like that.
While driving through Pennsylvania we saw signs designed to slow you down as you drive through a work zone. It is simply a picture of a hand pointing at you and all it says is "YOU Slow down."
As I was driving down a road, which I and hundreds of others have complained about because of the potholes, I saw a new caution sign the City had decided to put up claiming "Hazardous Road Conditions." This sign brought to mind only one thought, if the road is so hazardous that they have to put up a sign, shouldn't they fix it?
When I lived on California, one day I was driving down a mountainous road in the desert. I came across a sign that said, "Watch For Trocks" I don't know if it meant "trucks" or "rocks in the road". Ha! Maybe it meant "trucks hauling rocks". Anyway, it was one of the funniest signs I ever saw.
While driving through a small town I noticed a sign that said "FOR SALE: BUY OWNER" which led me to wonder, is the owner selling himself, or is his family selling him?
Maybe not stupid but the most extreme case of the "grass is greener on the other side of the fence" I have ever seen. As I stepped of the ship in Stockholm Sweden I noticed a small billboard ad for "Old Kentucky Vanilla Ice Cream". And we think Hagen Das is a treat!
I used to work at a residence for developmentally disabled adults called "Opengate." There was a sign on their gate that read "Gate must remain closed at all times."
I was driving down the street one day and saw a gas station sign that read "Eat here, Get Gas free"
Sign from a clothing store, "Kids CHEAP!"
Rounding the drive-thru at a local fast food place I noticed a sign on the wooden gates around the dumpsters, it read..."OPENS FROM INSIDE"
I saw a sign once that said, "Keep off this sign".
Once, I went to my grandparent's house with my family. We went to a grocery store and on the way there I saw a sign that read: "UGLY LAWNMOWERS FOR SALE"
The dumbest signs that we have seen were on the drive to Estes Park in Colorado. They warned people to "Climb to Higher Ground in Case of Flash Flooding." Well, uh, duh...
Sign in Detroit MI reads "Boat and hole For sale."
In a pet store I saw a sign that was around a dog's neck saying: Dog for rent.
There is a sign in downtown Birmingham, Alabama which reads, "Betty's hair salon and chainsaw repair."
On the signboard outside a local church:
Today's sermon: "What is Hell?"
"Come hear our choir sing!"
Saw this sign on a fence. "Jehovahs BEWARE....Catholic Dog."
SLOW- TREES GROWING 5 MPH.
Years ago when I lived in Nyack N.Y., I remember driving down Route 59. There was a big sign where the road split. The sign said food and lodging, ... right under the big hospital sign.
This was a sign on the University of Wyoming campus on the front doors of the Arts and Sciences Bulding:
Caution: Painting in Buliding
Sign seen by the pool at a hotel in New York:
IF YOU NEED CPR ASSISTANCE, GO TO THE FRONT DESK.
Sign on store: "Sorry, We're Open."
I was at a Chinese restaurant. When I was leaving I noticed a sign that said, "Use door for exit."
Seen on a steaming, over-heated truck at the side of the road: Bob's Radiator Service.
Seen in a law firms advertisement: "Affordable Bankruptcy."
There's a sign on I-90 Eastbound in NY that reads, "Correctional Facility: Do not pick up hitchhikers."
At my workplace management has had a problem with doors being propped open to allow airflow (besides being stupid, they're also cheap). To solve the problem these MENSA candidates decided to adorn each offending door with a sign stating, "This door is to remain closed at all times." AT ALL TIMES? What's the point in building a door you never want opened? I suppose from now on we'll have to enter and exit through the windows. This is going to prove somewhat troublesome for me, since I work on the third Floor!
When I went to Burger King, I found that on a drive-up window they had braille. It said: For those who need assistance in reading...
On a carwash I always pass the latest ad says: "SATISFACTION GUARANTEED OR YOU GET YOUR DIRT BACK"
I was walking in a garbage dump, the kind where you put the green bottles in one room and the newspapers in another. I burst out laughing when I got to a certain room for paper. It was labeled "White Trash Only"!
Who puts the "Thin Ice" sign out on a pond?
Just off the highway in the small Ontario town of Cobden, there is a sign reading "No Exit" on a dead end road. At the end of the road, in full view of the sign, is a cemetery.
At a road in Germany, there was a sign that read: "Please do not drive into the trees."
One day while my friend and I were in town we saw a food place that had a sign painted on the side of the building that said: "Free Crab Tomorrow" My friend looked at me and said we should go there tomorrow and get free crab. I looked at her and said "Hello, tomorrow never comes its always today." She looked at me and had to think about it for awhile before she got it.
In my town of Spring Hill, Florida, on one of the McDonalds' drive-thru windows there's a sign..."Picture menus available for illiterate"...?
I passed a sign in front of a gas station that said: Jesus saves! 2.99 Coors 6 packs.
While driving through the states, we saw a sign that said.. 4 star accommodation-next right. The next right we came to, however, if we were stupid enough to turn, led directly to the state penitentiary.
