In my travels across country, I have run into many signs.

Not omens, by the way, but road signs or signs posted on buildings, restaurants, theaters, etc.  I’m always amazed at the imaginative ways the English language is used. Here are some you just can’t help laughing at.

The one on the right is a sample of Dutch humor.  Great, isn’t it?

 

 

 

 

 

I came across the next two recently.

The first one (left) was in Massachusetts.  Makes you wonder whether you’re coming or going.

The second was on a rural dirt road in Vermont. Not a soul around.  Seriously?signs9signs8

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next five are just for fun!
