if its a sign, and it tickles your funny bone, post it here, I'll start

Oh, it works on SO many levels!

I took this picture myself

Driving to State College on Wednesday, I had to drive through acres and acres of land belonging to The Rockview State Correctional Facility. They had a preponderance of signs demanding "NO STOPPING VEHICLES." I thought one simple "DO NOT PICK UP HITCHHIKERS CLAD IN ORANGE JUMPSUITS" would have been sufficient.

Then there was a sign I only glimpsed from the moving car. Taped on a house window, it said, "DO NOT BRING DOGS AROUND HERE, OR I WILL GO TO JAIL."

I'm dying to hear more of that story...

Surely 'NO STOPPING VEHICLES' means 'no vehicles that are able to stop'. So they're banning vehicles whose brakes work?

My favorite that I've seen this week was the "No Parking Sign" that was put, literally, above a parking meter. Thank you city government for wasting money and making absolutely no sense.

There is a sign by the gate into our local sewage treatment plant that reads "Danger! Gate closes in auto."

I have to figure it was manufactured in China, by the folks who translate product instrucitons.

Heard my girlfriend's yelps of pain in the bathroom while she waxed her little hoo-hoo. Suddenly realized why women deserve flowers.

(Joke by my favorite comedian; taken from twitter @hogwild ).

Women want men to be romantic, tender, passionate, caring, sensitive to their moods and wishes, and do the washing up.

Men give women flowers.

Let's be honest, guys, we're just going for the easier option.

Hahahahhaha! good one Chris!

This park is for Catholic dogs only! And screw you, alpacas!

Not to mention those girl-stealing coyotes!

That's a fun park you live by.

Our local police department had hundreds of mats printed out with their logo and "IN DOG WE TRUST" printed on. It took them a few days to realize they had to demand a refund and get new ones made!

I would LOVE to have one of those door mats!

I think they destroyed them all out of embarrassment. But, I suppose you could check out Ebay or Craig's list- Largo, FL.

There was much ado a few years ago when some hats for Lock Haven University were sold BEFORE an employee noticed that the L was actually a C.
Bet they're collector's items now.

I'll bet there was a much ado! -I'll bet some scapegoat also lost a job over that faux-pas!

I am, ahem, a Lady Cock.

That is, I'm an alumna of the University of South Carolina. Our mascot is the Fighting Gamecock. Kids on campus and in the stadiums are proud to sport their T-shirts and Caps that just say "Cocks" on them. And we gals are never referred to by the correct term, "Game Hens" we are referred to as "Lady Cocks," which also happens to be a term used in the porn industry when speaking about women who . . . well, never mind. I think you can guess.

I could well understand your not wanting to be referred to as a "Game Hen". But a Lady Cock is, well, original, almost sounds like an oxymoron. But, hey! Gotta support the home team!

My wife giggles about a car sold in the UK - the Ford Fiesta ST.

When she was at school, "ST" was an acronym for a sanitary towel. I then countered this by pointing out that "Fiesta" was the name of ... ahem ... a men's magazine...

It's sanitary AND sexy!
Can't really blame them for trying to appeal to both sexes.

Ever get a feeling you're not in Kansas anymore?


A Milwaukee man named Mark Gubin has maintained a “Welcome to Cleveland” sign painted on the roof of his building at 2893 South Delaware Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin since 1978. The sign can be seen by incoming aircraft landing at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport and has been the cause of some confusion from travelers.

Mr. Gubin has a great sense of humor.

They don't even have a welcome to Cleveland sign in Cleveland. The closest thing is a billboard that says, "Smile! You're not in Detroit!"

Ever notice those signs that say "Deer Crossing" and then they tell you how much further along the road you could expect the deer to cross? Like this: http://www.silive.com/westshore/index...

I often wonder if that's because some of the deer are literate enough to know where it's safest to cross the street.

Makes me want to post signs for them in my yard to ask them to stop eating all my pretty plants.

If I were Melki, I'd know how to post the pic of this sign so you can see it. However, it's just blond Lisa reporting on what she saw today ... it was a sign on a bike, keyword "A" as in ONE bike, that said: "Bike for sale. From Pakistan or Holland (you get to decide). $100." A phone number followed as well as a tiny picture of a space alien.

Lisa- right click the image to copy the web address and paste it in your post. Melki's scouring the web for some entertaining fine art we can lampoon.

$100 you say? Hmm. Not if they're riding it all the way over to my house!

this was taken by me! Maybe not the best choice for a restaurant name...

This is for Lisa! right click and save this picture, then view it on your computer.

I wonder whose kids they're selling . . .

That's a good one, and good job with the picture posting.

I don't care how cheap they are - I don't want any more.

All thanks to you, Rodney!

SJ Moms really don't have a sense of humor, do they?

My daughter had to create a mini roller coaster as a science project. She's not really good with physics, which might explain why the car would only go down and not back up on her project. She ran out of time, though, before she could figure it out. To help with the "creativity" part of her grade, she came up with an appropriate name for the coaster and quickly made a sign for it for when she presented it to the class. But she made the sign too quickly and subsequently made a spelling error. And none of that sounds funny, so I shall show you the sign she made (with her name blacked out because she'd kill me if she knew I was posting this):

What's the point, indeed!

No caption needed

Rodney, I've seen that one going around. I wonder what brands they carry? We need to replace our backpacking tent...

That is so funny, Lisa. Thanks for sharing.

Right on, Melki!

I'm fine with wearing mine to the mailbox. The grocery store? Never. The same goes for Crocs.

I'm much more tolerant about Crocs, probably because I have foot issues and wear hiking shoes everywhere. Whatever it takes to keep the feet happy. But you can put on pants.

Pajama bottoms in public says, "I give up."
Wearing underwear as outerwear (ex. bra tops) says, "Open for business."
I am retired, live in my pajamas, and it is torture putting on my outdoor clothes to leave the house. I do it though. (I wear my pjs to the mailbox. Who's looking?)
Crocs in the summer. Born in the winter. I am all about comfort.

I always get that confused - I have to remind myself that the "A" is for Americans, and the "Y" is for Canadians because we figure "Y not spell things differently?" :-)

(I tend to waffle back and forth between the two, since I work for a U.S. publisher)

I agree with you, fyi - mailbox is no problem, grocery store would make me cringe...

You spell like us in Canada then Brenda. I didn't know that. British Columbia is a great place.
