Yesterday I posted this rather inappropriate sign on Twitter, and it received over 11,000 views, so I thought I would put it on the blog….
Then I went looking and found…..
Plus the classic…
Which is your favourite?

Have seen the first two but not the third one before. My favorite is the first one, it’s just hillarious.

The second is brilliant!
It is a bit disturbing that somebody considered the first one necessary.

I do not believe number 2 is a real sign. It’s surely either a deliberately jokey hoax or a photo-shop job. No matter how mindless the operation of bureaucracies, it’s impossible to see how a sign dominated by a self-warning would appear. The chatty “also, the bridge is out ahead” refers back to the joke.

I know the third one isn’t real, but still a classic. The first one is my favourite. There must be thousands of signs worldwide that have become inappropriate due to new slang.

I’m getting the feeling I miss the point.

Don’t hit your head on the sign!

It actually does serve a purpose though – http://lushlush.livejournal.com/190093.html?thread=919437#t919437

It has to be the first one by a very long shot. It really did make me LOL!

I have to find it and scan it, but I found a sign at a restroom at I think Vicksburg National Park in Mississippi, USA. It had the international male symbol and directly underneath was “basement entrance”…

A sign outside the School of Nursing and Midwifery at University of Southampton says something like: “Deliveries to the rear”.

This is a warning sign I photographed at the beach in Perth, Western Australia. Apparently they have Water at the beaches there. Who knew?

Guy – The wa pic looks like it may be shallow water.Still its as good as pig number 2.

The 2nd and 3rd aren’t real, so I like the 1st one best.
August 23, 2011 at 8:30 am |
#2 reminds me of the classic “Do not throw stones at this notice!”.

i saw a notice in a shop in amsterdam forbidding sex in the changing rooms (it’s on my blog http://gadaf.fi/majik

this is a personal favorite, and very real, I’ve seen it. Apparently it’s to do with a rather enhanced Bernoulli effect on the platform.

All good, all from b3ta. The third one is my work, even – based on a real sign at Barnstaple Health Centre from the 90′s.

The family planning one is certainly very funny, but I think I’d have to go with the sharp edges one – bureaucracy gone made (again).

The family planning one is funny on more than one level as the hospital is near where I live!:D
