Funny signs you've seen

I saw these two disease-related signs on my way to the shops yesterday. Anyone got any more they've taken themselves? I have a few amusing/bizarre ones from South America if I can dig them up.

Spelling error.

Warning Dog Sleeping.

BMUP Spelling Mistake road sign

Dead peoples things for sale

Special offer in the Dundrum shopping centre.

This sign was up for quite a while in Milltown.

In America a couple of years ago I saw a street named "Tangle Berry".

The locals had no idea why I found the street sign hilarious

Actually, maybe I should have posted those the other way around. Death might be Falcon's supplier.

Very very funny. I know it's wrong but it's still so funny!

The logo of the family with a small child inspires mucho confianza...

How could they not guess this would happen?

Signs around my area telling dog owners to clean up after their dogs
"When your dog has done it's business, Do Yours"

Also there's this photo I took in the US last year. Say it quickly.

Don't have a pic, but outside the main restauraunt in UCD there's a sign proclaiming that you can have a 'bowel' of cereal:D Few other bloopers on it too.

Here's 2 good ones, the second one just think of the male sexual organ and bread, also can't find the picture but i saw one at the roxboro road swimming pool in limerick which said : pool open, sorry for any inconvenience caused.

fluppet · 11-06-2007 3:16pm

I didn't actually see the sign, but I saw the shop's listing in the Yellow Pages of the United Arab Emirates. To make it worse, it is actually the first listing on the page, so it is also written in big writing up at the corner of the page.

L*b*a Tailors

(replace the first * with an 'a', and the second * with an 'i')

In case you don't believe me:
www.yellowpages.ae
Type in the full name above in Search
Have a look at the results

TeenageKicks · 12-06-2007 1:38pm

Labia Tailors???

fluppet · 12-06-2007 8:34pm

Yeah, but I think it's just a normal tailors... they're listed under 'Women's Tailors' in the Yellow Pages... You get loads of companies with funny names like that over there - I think for a lot of them they must just pick random words out of the dictionary, but in this case they made a pretty bad choice, hehe

There used to be a taxi company in Manor St in Dublin that I'd pass every day on the way in to work, and across the window was a big sign saying:
"No Journey To Near Or Far"

Which made you wonder what was the point like???

tmurphy41 · 12-06-2007 11:04pm

hey look. that was my first post. i feel now like it should have been something more momentous

This site has some funny ones on it.

These are dotted around the area where the farm is.

Allways thoughtof them as stating the obvious

Unpossible · 14-06-2007 3:37pm

I don't know if its still there, but back in 2004 some fools living near I.T.Tralee had signs on their windows reading;

"Say no to ESB telephone mast" (some had mobile telephone masts in there too I think)

I think one of them even had it on display in his van window too. The sad part was that they had been running this campaign for at least 2 years at that point and either nobody told them the ESB don't put up mobile telephone masts, or they just didn't believe the people that told them this.

This is in town somewhere, funny when rambling around drunk:

i saw this in a train station in copenhagen. the picture had to be recovered after being deleted from a memory card so its a bit corrupted but you get the idea. i think the buttons were for calling a lift

timmywex · 26-06-2007 1:42pm

ye might have seen this one before but its still a classic.......great advice too!!, ok, i know thats a bit small but you should still be able to read it..
