Signs Along the Way

Everywhere we go we see signs.  Some signs are really helpful, giving good instructions or directions.  Some signs are confusing – were we supposed to turn at that right or the next one?  Some signs help us stay safe while some seem to tempt us to danger.  So today, instead of writing lots of words of my own, I’m going to share with you some of the more memorable signs we have seen.

Tom really enjoys “stick figure warning man” who is always getting killed in interesting ways.

At the beach in Oregon
In the Laundromat
On a gate in Louisianna
Poor stick figure warning man. So many ways to die
Another door warning
Don’t get zapped!
Stuck behind this for two hours. Watch out for those driveshafts.

I am partial to messages on t-shirts.

There are all kinds of interesting signs posted by government on various levels.  Here are some that left us scratching our heads.

Where is the women’s restroom?
So if there is a dead body . . .
Like stick figure warning man – seen at the Black Canyon of the Cunnison
On Lake Erie – is this the same as “No Swimming”?
Usually called speed bumps
But not always
Beware of the mosquitoes
Plastics and Johnny Appleseed – what a city!
Meaning lots of people?
This sign is waving at us
Not sure about the portal opening
Of course, there wasn’t any water in the ditch
As opposed to pet alligators
Bear crossing

We love the interesting and creative signs that businesses put up.  We would say these businesses are succeeding because the signs are so memorable.

Troutdale Oregon
Tonapah Nevada
Massachusetts
Book title that caught my eye
Definitely want kisses!
Beatty Nevada
Somewhere in Oklahoma
Saw this in Idaho
Bambi and truckers. Huh.
In Columbus Ohio
Cannibal pig
Tuscaloosa Alabama
At night this sign winked at us
Well, if you want some grub
I never knit and drive!
