Best sign you've ever seen in your life, personally?

    I'm just back from a trip to the chipper and, I swear, I've never seen a funnier sign in my life (I'll try to get an actual picture tomorrow, I didn't have my phone with me at the time).

    The sign I seen was in the chipper, a big red circle with a red cross across a brilliantly hand-drawn bloke with his hands down his tracksuit bottoms in the front - like he's re-arranging stuff down there. Anyone walking through Dublin city centre would be pretty much guaranteed to see a similar sight at least once a day during the summer.

    I didn't want to discriminate any county by posting this in the regional forums. You'd probably not see it in Cork City, in fairness. But, after that sight tonight, I was just wondering, without this turning into a picture battle thread, what is the best sign you've ever seen yourself in person? Written or pictorial - describe it!

    I'm still laughing from the chipper, can't wait to post it tomorrow! :D

    This is in a shop in Kilkenny. Just bizarre more than anything.

    You know you're in a recession when shops are slashing their prices on consumer staples such as Pirate.

    Should be a sign on the door of every club

    My friend is a barrister and his office is in a really old Georgian building, where the door always gets stuck so it now has a sign saying "Push it. Push it real good" :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    Some office in Ranelagh has two entrances to the driveway, and at each entrance there is a red sign:
    "In Only" and "Out Only".
    For a while, the people in the building next door put a red sign on their driveway that read "Shake It All About Only"

    In Portugal, a particular Chinese restaraunt I visited were very proud of one particular dish that they served. A large sign on the street-side menu boldly proclaimed "Bambi bang gang - €7". I didn't ask what it was...

    This isn't funny really but in the Whitewater SC carpark in Newbridge, when you put your ticket in the machine to pay for your parking, it says in big, red letters, "CHANGE IS POSSIBLE!". It made me smile when I first saw it 'cause I was thinking along the lines of change in the world as opposed to money change. Could just be me though. I think it's a nice wee message! :)

    On a related note, a Grim Reaper silhouette scratched into a children-crossing sign in Dublin, taking the hand of the wee one...

    The sun dancing like a mad yoke over Knock basilica. Not sure what it was a sign of. As soon as i get home from the Eye clinic in Galway and get these two pads off I'll google it.

    Don't have any photos but...

    1. There used to be a sign up at Dublin airport that had the words 'Exit', 'Way Out' and... 'Mortuary' on the one sign. They've changed it now.

    2. Halfway between the airport and Santry, there's 2 billboards side by side. The first one invites you to visit the new McDonalds in Northwood (?) Shopping Centre and there's a big arrow pointing right. It points at an ISPCC poster that basically says stop child abuse.

    i know in the us this is a standard school sign but to me it looks a bit like a mugging.

    There's a sign in the Store Room in work, which reads:
    Please Keep Store Room Clean at all Times.

    Penalty for Non-Compliance:
    Death by Severe Beating, twice.

    Thanks for your co-operation.
    I laughed the first time I read it anyway.

    There was a campaign of hatred against the pictures of a local candidate in the Kilkenny council elections back in 09:

    I wish I had taken some pics at the time. Some of the trannie ones were artfully executed with luscious red lipstick and a beauty spot. I laughed every time I passed em on my way into work.
