I saw a sign tacked on the side of a outbuilding today that said.
Wood Lumber for Sale. I thought to myself I haven't seen to much steel lumber or plastic lumber for that matter.
Here's one I saw on the net.


What kind of stupid signs have you seen?
GOVERMENT HAS WAY TO MUCH CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES!!!!

Not a sign, but my father would say something like this in a heavy rain: 'Gee that's a wet rain'  ::) :D

Every time I drive past a "bump ahead" sign now my meesus turns, wags a finger at me and says "Don't you dare!".  :D

Back when I worked for the Maine DOT, one day we went out and put up a total of 3 bump signs. Yes, that was a full 8 hour shift for a total of 3 bump signs. When we got back to the camp and got ready fr home I asked the foreman.

"Wouldn't it have taken just as much time to fix the bumps in the first place?"

Thats a very sad, but true story.

You mean signs like "Caution - Men Working"  or "Fine for Littering".   ;)
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

He is a good one I see, just South of Dallas on the Kings Valley Highway:  "Dip in the road".

Now, I have been called many things, among them, the above by the state highway department.

It is common to see signs that say, "Slow children playing."  ::) ???

My favorite is, "Speed detected by detection devices."  Really? ???

As you travel south through West Virginia on 77 there is a sign that says speed detected by arial survalance.  The funny part is that it is 100 yards before you get to the tunnels through the mountain. ;)

I was going down a road in the mountains of NC when I saw a sign that read "slow children at play"...... went just a short distance and the next sign read "slow men at work"...... I guess them slow children grew up and were still slow when they were at work....

well, to top it off, just about another 300 yards there was a sign that read "slow funeral"
I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, I work all night and sleep all day

While we were on holdiay over New Year up North someone had stuck these stickers on all the 'Cow' signs in the area.

For some reason we found it very amusing  :D

So is that what you say when you smack one on the highway? ;D

I want to give a precautionary warning about using photos from other websites since on a thread like this it is so tempting to do so. Its NOT allowable. Linking to them, or "Borrowing" them and placing them in our gallery is not an option either. Either one would be a violation of someone elses web content and band width.

Many photos now are being "digimarked", meaning they can be tracked, even after being optimized or edited. You all are responsible for your own posts in this regard.

DanG, our deer can't read, they just cross wherever they feel like it.  :D  :D  :D

A couple miles south of my place there is a "deer crossing" sign, the little pictogram of a deer jumping, somebody put a little red sticker over the tip of the nose, it's reflective. Now I see Rudolph every night.  :D

The DOT people put a sign up pointing to my little airport too, a green rectabgle with a pictogram of an airplane, the kids at the parachute school that fly out of it put a sticker on the sign, now there's a parachutist jumping out of the airplane pictogram.  ::)
