You guys know how I love signs — the good ones, the bad ones, the confusing ones — I love them all. As I drift through the net when not working, I collect the best signs and bring them here, to share with you guys. Here are the latest in my collection:
Here’s something you knew: Big brother is watching you. But, did you also know:
. . . that he is getting ready to bean you with a teevee set?
That Big Brother. Always beaning us with teevee sets.
Speaking of scary things, watch out for the sharks … NO SCUBA DIVING.
BUT you can swim all you want. Sharks never pay attention to swimmers . . . right?
Right?
And here is yet ANOTHER thing to watch for — cars that sneak up on your and:
WHAP! I hate it when they do that.
Who are the people who put up all of these signs, anyway? If you know any, can you ask them if they REALLY want us to do this:
I’m a law abiding citizen, but that seems a bit harsh.
Here’s a happier sign:
Apparently it’s a Bike-On-Rainbow Crossing sign. We don’t want to hit any bikes-on-rainbows, do we?
Speaking of odd combinations, check this one out:
Go slow? Who? Golf carts? Planes? BOTH? People, we need a little more direction here!
Here’s another sign I found perplexing:
Here, I’ll say it for us all — “HUH?”
But the most confusing sign I found is this one:
Is he holding a surf board? A wide ribbon? Leaning over a tilted fence?
And what’s with the scissors and eggs at the bottom of the sign? If he leans too far over the surf board, will someone cut his eggs? And are ‘eggs’ a euphemism for something else? Something that no one would ever WANT cut with scissors?
I don’t know, but I’ll be careful not to lean over any surf boards any time soon.
Here are your signs, my lovely goddessess! Have you seen any silly signs lately? Do you know why people shouldn’t leave over a surf board?

Oh, this really makes my day, Karen!
Btw, if you lean over a surfboard, you might topple over???
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 6:01 am.
Nickie, and THEN they cut off your … eggs? Lol! I dunno, but that’s as good of an explanation as any!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:41 am.
Pretty cool Karen, as always you manage to do the signs of madness and it makes a day a billion times better.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 6:32 am.
Thank you, Kelly!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:41 am.
Love these signs! Thanks, Karen.
I’m wondering if the dotted line has anything to do with the cutting of the eggs.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 7:24 am.
Hot Cop looked at it this morning and suggested that it was a No Peeing sign … which is might be, now that I look at it, but where do the scissors come in? It’s perplexing!!!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:43 am.
If you pee where you shouldn’t, apparently over a surfboard, someone will cut off your eggs. There you go!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:46 am.
Maybe the penalty for getting caught peeing would be to cut his eggs off? LOL!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 10:35 pm.
You really gave me a laugh today, Karen! Thanks!
Like Lori, I did wonder if the dotted line and the cutting of the eggs were connected. Perhaps the sign is a warning that your arms and eggs will be chopped off by the big red thingie? Or just that you shouldn’t have boiled eggs in your pockets when you work?
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 7:42 am.
Sabrina, I like your suggestion about the boiled eggs! That could well be it because you KNOW how people love to carry boiled eggs with them. Heh!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:44 am.
Wow, you found a good crop of them today! Those are some strange ones!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:14 am.
Odd, aren’t they? When I retire, I think I want to own a sign making company. I’ll make all SORTS of weird signs then.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:44 am.
I’m sitting here giggling. Thanks, Karen.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:23 am.
You’re welcome! Everyone needs a good giggle now and then.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:45 am.
I love the airplane bouncing off the car. It’s like…oops, sorry, I didn’t see you there!? And in my pathetic life my boss wrote in marker, on the top of our trash can, NO FOOD OR ITEMS THAT SPOIL. Hhmmm. Its a garbage can. Anywho. You always make me smile Karen! Great signs once again. Thanks!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:43 am.
Kelly, your boss sounds like he’s not as busy as he could be … just sayin’!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:46 am.
What a fun way to start the morning! There are some strange signs out there. I think Hot Cop is probably right…it looks like they are proposing that something you want to keep will be cut off if they catch you peeing in public.
The garbage only/no trash one is really odd though. I thought they were the same thing??? Maybe they mean ‘gar-baaahhhge’ — lol. They are one and the same in my house anyway, but maybe we’re too provincial??
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:53 am.
Julie, wow. Seems like someone could be arrested for making a threat like that. Maybe that’s why the sign is so obscure? Hmm.
And garbage and trash is the same in my house, too, PLUS one word is used as the definition of the other, so … dunno!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 2:31 pm.
I just want to know where I can ride my bike over a rainbow. I promise to be careful.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 11:07 am.
I’ll take your picture when you and the rainbow go over the crossing.
I does beg to be tested, doesn’t it?
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 2:31 pm.
I think that is a bike over a steep hill. Ride over the crest and the hill drops fast and you can fly off.
Posted on July 10, 2012 at 1:32 am.
I love funny signs! Thank you for sharing!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 11:44 am.
Cheir, you’re quite welcome!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 2:31 pm.
Feed the fresh water sharks… don’t want their systems clogged with scuba gear.
Show this to a guy I work with and on the last one he said, ‘Oh, no pee-in’ or they cut your balls off.’
Takes a man.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 11:50 am.
Lori, apparently it does take a man. And wow, that really IS harsh!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 2:32 pm.
I have got to start surfing the web looking for funny things! I’m missing out on a lot of fun.
I never see any funny signs. You miss so much when your entire driving life consists of home to grocery store to home to grocery store to home. I mean, I try to use different grocery stores and different routes, but still.
Ah, my busy, glamorous life.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 12:54 pm.
Claudia, ah, lady, you and I have the same glamorous lives. The internet surfing takes the place of ‘working,’ which I need to do more of.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 2:33 pm.
You guys made me snort. *g*
Love the shark sign. Clearly environmentalists put it up, because scuba gear can clog a shark’s gills. Swimmers are much easier to digest.
Saw a sign on the mall escalator that made me think of you, Karen. It said “Passengers Only”. Hm.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 12:57 pm.
Lol! It does beg the question … who ELSE will be on the escalator?
I never thought about swimmers being easier to digest, but that does make sense, although I’d think a thigh bone might be– but no. Sharks have really big, BIG teeth. It may take metal to stop that chomp.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 2:35 pm.
Thanks Karen you made me feel better
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 1:07 pm.
Judy, you’re welcome! Sorry you needed a grin, but I’m so glad I was able to give you one. Hugs!
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 2:35 pm.
The last one is fascinating. I think the top part says men should not pee there. As for the scissors—??? If they do pee, a huge scythe will cut off their “eggs”???
I wonder if anyone saw this and thought, “Okay, sure, I get it.”
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 3:51 pm.
I’m pretty sure that last sign has something to do with circumcision. Hence, the exclamation point.
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 3:52 pm.
LOL they are really funny, specially the one that says “Garbage only, no Trash” I would also say “Huh?” hahaha
As Sabrina said, thank you Karen for making me laugh
Posted on July 9, 2012 at 8:50 pm.
Could the eggs be coins?
Posted on July 10, 2012 at 1:34 am.
I’m in the dotted line as pee camp. Although, what the eggs and scissors mean, I have no clue!
Nice selection this time!
Posted on July 10, 2012 at 9:02 am.
OMG, laughing so hard began crying by the time I got to the man with the “surfboard”. My husband thought the same as other guys that it was a warning not to pee in public. Saw the Plane over the car before, youth minister at church says real popular in southwest as a warning about cropdusters. Thanks for the laughs, really needed it.
