On an antipodean twist, my favorite road sign in the universe is, alas,
symbolic not verbal.
But picture this:
In lieu of a deer leaping across a road without first prudently looking both
ways, what about a ... a ... a ... KANGAROO!
What delightful signage. One of my philosophy profs was actually so enamored
of these, he stole one.

petersburg, russia which

My personal favorite is one they have here in the Virginia/Maryland area which
I GUESS means you're near a shaded picnic area but which shows a big pine tree
about to fall onto a picnic table.
I sure as hell don't want to eat there without a crash helmet.

Oh yeah. It's everywhere near the Glebe :) I'm very amused by those signs,
for obvious reasons, but also because the little picture that supposedly
portrays a 'speed hump' looks an awful lot like a little priest hat :)
Another one of my favourites is the sign you see when entering Chelsea, a
small rural town right next to Hull:
Chelsea
(Chelsea)
The one in parentheses being of course the translation in English :) Goddamn

... "Open Joints On Bridge"
The first time I saw it, I was with a good friend who decided it must be a
command, not a warning ... As a little side note, she and I were in a staff
meeting two days ago when the talk turned to a new icon that's been added to
our office computer: A Refer Icon (that's actually pronounced "reefer," as
opposed to "reFER" though it means the latter -- newspaper folk will know it,
right Doug Levy????). We just turned to each other and she mouthed "What is the
new icon? A big fattie?" And like the mature adults we are we both dissolved
into giggles. They kept going on and on about how it was a "bold helvetica
refer" (better than Jamaican, not as good as Hawaiian) and stuff like that and
we got worse and worse. No one else noticed I guess but I swear we were waiting
to be called into the principal's office. She mentioned later that her first
day at the job, people were yelling "Where's the refer?" and she thought "Damn,
this IS a great place to work."

I saw a comedian make fun of the same signs once... he was really good
at doing a slo-mo impression:
"Thhhrooooow....mmmeeeeee.....thhhheeee...baaaalllll...."
etc.
I can't take those signs too seriously anymore. Maybe I should go
around with a magic marker and correct as many signs as possible, adding
a comma after "slow".

Birchmere, August 1997 flashbacks. This one came up on stage at that show
along with Stay Inside Lane, which was a sign inside a one lane tunnel.
Plus I think Jered added in the classic "Slow Down Get Ticket" from toll
booths. That was a good show. Hockey Night in Canada theme. Jaymz B guest

Agh! I've seen that sign too, at the Canadian side of customs on the way
home from Vancouver... the first time I saw it I cracked up. It just sounds
so obscene. ;)

That is a bad one. ;) My other favorite easily-misread sign, albeit much
tamer, is the circular sign which reads
Automatic

every time I go through one.....

No it's not!!!! It's the part of Chelsea -- I don't know whether it's
considered a township or what, but "Chelsea" is 7 or 8 different places,
such as Chelsea, Old-Chelsea, Kirks Ferry,
Kingsmere, Cascades, Farm Point ....

A friend of ours recently e-mailed us saying that a newcomer to her
(semi-rural) neighborhood had asked the local zoning board to remove the
"Deer Crossing" sign near his house - apparently he was tired of all the
deer on the road and no longer wanted them to be allowed to cross there.

OK I wasn't going to post but now that we are talking visual signs... When
taking my UK driving test I was asked what a sign of a motorcycle above a car
meant. My guess, beware of low flying motorbikes :-) The correct answer was
no where near as fun. It was No Motorized vehicles allowed.

My favorite sign like that is in Salisbury, England.
It said "Caution: Elderly People"
On top of it, was one of the red triangles with a sillohette
of a very elderly couple. The guy had a cane and the woman
was hunched over.
I know it's very un-PC, but I almost fell off the curb
laughing at that sign.

I was just reminded last night of a sign that totally cracked
us up once somewhere on the way to Buffalo. You know how they always
have those blue signs with hotels, food, gas, or attractions? Well we
were driving through this little town in the middle of nowhere and
they had this big blue "ATTRACTIONS" sign, with absolutely nothing
underneath it. Basically a "we're proud that there's nothing to do
here!" type sign. :) I think we were laughing for miles.

signs denoting food, gas, and lodging. one poor exit had a big blue sign
that said "no services."
