It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

I like every street that is also a pun, such as Fore St, Fir St, New Haven Ct and so on.

Take the Other Road
(San Juan County, Utah)

Apparently it was too long to spell out on the street blade:

https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4395059,-109.3709486,3a,15y,104.27h,88.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s-22_PT4XYLPa0pH3rKd_1A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en
Almost wonder if that was done to prevent sign theft as well...

I doubt it given how remote the location is considering it is south of Moab in Utah and intersects a Forest Service Road.

Obviously shopped.

I looked though some forgotten photos and found it; unfortunately, my shot with the stop sign turned out too blurry. Ooops.



Several stop signs and blades were on "elevated" posts, so it wasn't just about Hammer time.

I found a great one in Fremont, Ohio while perusing the Ohio Turnpike on Google Maps.

See for yourselves: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4000085,-83.1220442,3a,15y,324.44h,90.55t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDmXE7dw3qaqqwpIeUHlbBA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

And notice how high that blade is mounted....I have no doubt a few of them are in several people's garages.

....and Turnpike travelers are greeted by a sign for this road as well:

Most of those aren't very funny, actually.

Ditch Road parallels a ditch for a bit, no different than Dike Road or Railroad Avenue.

Let me echo this down from the mountaintops, to all the members of this forum whose only value is objectivity--

((((HUMOR IS SUBJECTIVE))))

No one cares if you agree.  Stop complaining.  Especially if laughter isn't your thing to begin with--some of us enjoy laughing.

Also--In a world where loads of people laugh at dumb stuff for how dumb it is, dumb posts are exactly what we're looking for in this thread  :D

I've seen these signs mounted on wooden posts, concrete posts, metal posts.....I haven't seen any mounted on dumb posts, am I missing something?
