Real Warning Signs that deliver the message and a smile.

I don’t think these are photo shopped. I’ve seen similar warning signs in my local area.

My personal favorite…

This property is protected 24/7
By security cameras
and
20 or more wolves

Yup, that drives home the point and made me smile. :wink:

I wouldn’t say these are hilarious. They will make most people smile.

Even more images that will make you smile.
Just as well make this thread a twofer.

Funny animals

Grab life by the… :eek: that’s almost too true And funny.

:smiley:

We came across this sign [arguably NSFW - depending where you work] in a square in Ghent. Regularly placed signs along the side of the square. Just in case you missed the first one, I guess. It’s the equality aspect of the sign that particularly appeals to me.

I think it was our next visited which coincided with Ghent winning the Belgian Football League, and, as the evening wore on and the good people of the town celebrated, such signs were widely ignored, to the extent that some of the narrower alleyways were impassable.

I haven’t been to Belgium for far too long.

I’ve seen a road sign like this on an underpass where the drainage grate was installed with the bars running parallel to the road, so bike wheels would get stuck in it.

There’s nothing better than a picture to drive home a message. Doesn’t matter what language someone speaks. They’ll understand that sign.

Road signs for deer are similar. Everyone understands a picture of a deer and that they can dart out onto the highway. Car wrecks after hitting deer are a problem in my state.

Warning signs at dangerous intersections in Panama can be quite graphic about the possible consequences.

I’ve also seen “wildlife crossing” signs featuring a car crashing headfirst into a coati, but couldn’t find an image.

Do not stare into (laser) beam with remaining eye.

aceplace57 - Have you seen The Deadly Follies of Stick Figure Warning-Man? You might enjoy them.

I’ve seen a few of the stick figures. The web site had more that were new to me.

Thanks :wink:

This signin a crocodile farm where the walkway gets a little steep.

And this one at the estuary nearby. Because if the crocs don’t get you the hippos and sharks will.

Reader’s Digest once quoted a sign in a New Age gift shop: “Shoplifting can play havoc with your karma”.

The big sign directing you onto the Massachusetts Turnpike in Boston used to have a buckle-bearing pilgrim hat (symbol of the Pike) and an arrow pointing the way. But the arrow was transfixing the hat, as if he’d been shot just a little too high by an indian.

The sign’s gone now, a victim of Political Correctness. A second grade class in Amherst MA campaigned successfully to remove the signs in 1989, feeling they were disrespectful to Native Americans. Which I must say I agree with. But I miss the weird whimsicality of those signs.

My hometown has taken to putting up “Roadwork Ahead” signs with a humourous twist. One of our major bridges was down to two lanes from four all summer, and the warning sign said “Road Work Ahead - If only we had a swear jar.” But even better, where they were working on the water and sewer system they had this sign: Road Work Ahead - No ninja turtles will be harmed."

Seen at the site of everlasting disruptive road construction near my home man years ago, someone pasted the word “Very” over the sign “Slow Men Working”

Out of control Wheelchair man rolling towards the hungry Croc. :eek:

That one made my day. :wink: clever and imaginative.

Must be a very, very steep incline.

In Panama, I once saw a “Road Works” sign with the initials of the MOP (Ministerio de Obras Publicos = Ministry of Public Works) at the bottom completed by some joker as Ministerio de Obreros Pobres (Ministry of Poor/Bad Workers).

There’s a chocolate-making attraction out here that has warning sign for drivers in the carpark

The funniest thing about those Daily Mail pictures are the over-obvious and completely unnecessary captions.

Unnecessary is the word for everything I’ve ever read on the Daily Mail’s website. It reads like written for people with lobotomies. I’m glad I’ve never had to read one of their rags in print.
