Silly Signs

I collect strange things. I like to collect great quotes, make them up and trade them with others. I even have a blank page book that I have put them in for over 20 years and I read it every now and then. I also like to collect silly signs. Signs that don't say what they are meant to say. Every year I try and do a list of the new ones I have seen and here are the great ones of 2007.

In a Big and Tall store in Pensacola: "Wonderful bargains for men with 18 and 23 necks." Huh? I don't want to see this man in my dreams.

I saw this sign in San Antonio, Texas during a show there for the National Skeet Shooting Academy.. "Archery tournament. Ears pierced." I'm not sure what these signs have in common and I don't want to know, but I hope that they don't do it with the arrows!

In a new building being built after Hurricane Dennis in Milton. "When taking showers, please leave the bathroom door open. This will help until we get the fan installed." Shower naked with the door open, I don't think so!

I saw this one in North Carolina, "We buy junk and sell antiques." Man, if that ain't the truth!

This sign was on the roadside in north Alabama; please explain how to do this ... "EAT - 1 mile."

On Tennessee I-65 right after you cross the line…this was put up by the state! "Drive slower When Wet." Soooo, I'm not to drive after I have had a shower if I have not dried off yet?

This one made me laugh for ten miles. On a road under construction in Tallahassee, Fla. Now you know the legislature had to be in session with this sign….. "You are speeding when flashing." I'm not sure what I'm doing when I'm flashing, but driving is not going to be one of them!

On a Pennsylvania highway: "Drive carefully: Auto accidents kill most people from 16 to 9." OK, one number had fallen off, but if it had still be there, it would have not made any more sense!

In down town Boston I had laugh at this tunnel construction sign. "Callahan Tunnel/ No. End." Damn, man how long is that thing anyway?

On a beach in Biloxi, Mississippi that had a limited parking area reserved for birdwatchers: "Parking for birds only." I bet that place had little biddy parking spaces!

In a Maine restaurant: "Open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Midnight." They just ain't caught on to this Daylight Savings thing yet. Bless their hearts.

In front of a New Hampshire restaurant: "Now serving live lobsters." I like them, but I ain't gonna eat them live!

And still the best one of the year … On a radiator repair garage in Downtown Pensacola … "Best place too take a leak." I guess so, if you can't make it to the bathroom.

Have fun and don't forget to read them any way you want…

Just thought you'd like to know…
