Humorous Signs

First: I hope I'm not copying the theme of an old thread...

Here are a few sign pictures that are humorous but not erroneous:

These first three are from Clarksville, TN:

From downtown near Austin Peay State University

(Bandit73 also has a photo of one of these banners. I took mine first, he posted his first)

And if finding a place to live is a pain for you, don't move in to one of these places:

I've always enjoyed this sign, for both the humor and the underlying racism (think mascot controversy)...until you realize it's in the middle of the Wind River Indian Reservation, so not so racist

In the early 1970s, Austin Peay had a star basketplayer named James Williams. His nickname was "Fly."

What did their students chant? "Our Fly is open, let's go Peay!"

APSU's nickname is the Governors. I would guess that Austin Peay was an early governor of the Volunteer State.

^ Foo-king, Austria. I've heard there's also a sign that says (in German) "Please, not so fast!".

This pair of signs made rounds on the internet years ago...

Yes, this intersection actually exists... in Manhattan!

And from The Bronx:

The latter is properly pronounced "fay-lee", though, not "fail"

Chestertown, NY:

45 mile per hour teeter-totter!

Does anybody here remember when I told them about this sign?

agentsteel53 · September 23, 2011, 08:15:43 PM

okay that must be a prankster... but what did the letters originally say that they were able to be moved into that new configuration?

D-Dey65 · September 23, 2011, 08:54:10 PM

I have no idea. I wasn't there when the sign had it's previous inscription.

There was one in Maine that said "Frustrated? Fed up with the non progress on the bridge?" near a bridge that had apparently been down to one lane for quite some time.
