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

InkSlinger67 · 15-10-2011 02:30AM #1

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!

Wan and one equals fish and chips.
Do you want a condom with that?

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.

No fat chicks

Should be a sign on the door of every club

This, in Sweden.

We roadtripped from one end of the country to the other, and I never stopped finding it funny.

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"

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...

Ahhhh... It's good to know barristers are people too...

People that earn shitloads of money... the cunts.

The Gilli Islands in Indonesia. Cafe on the beach with a sign saying 'We Sell Magic Mushrooms'

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.

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