Love this thread! My modest contribution - Once, when driving through the French countryside, I saw the usual triangular "danger" sign with an exclamation point. But underneath was an attachment that read "Betteraves". Could not figure out what could be dangerous about beets and decided there must be another translation for the word that I didn't know. Later I found out that this was in an area where beets were grown and transported to market in open trucks and that they sometimes spilled onto the road and made it very slippery.

On the island of Kauai we visited the lighthouse at Kilauea Point. Obviously it is on a steep cliff and on the fence overlooking a huge drop to the ocean a sign was posted reading, "Birds only beyond this sign." <BR> <BR>We also enjoyed the "Moose Crossing" signs on the highway in Quebec. We're used to deer crossing signs, but had never seen one for moose. <BR> <BR>j

In the early 80's driving through Alberta, Canada we saw a sign that said "Warble Control Zone". We drove on nervously, unsure if we were in a military area or what. Many years later we learned that the warble is some sort of pest infecting cattle.

I lived in a small town in Germany and it the square was a smallish billboard which sat empty for some time. One day I noticed an inscription done neatly in bright red against the white background. It remianred there and I would see it every day on my way home and I imagine that it stayed there for nearly a month as many of the elder folks didn't really know English and maybe the young people didn't want to let on. It read: "PETTING IN THE SHOWER GIVES YOU MUCH POWER". Obviously put there by someone in the know. <BR> <BR>It's one of those that just stays with you.

Traveled the circle route around Lake Michigan a few years back. Not hilariously funny, but every 20 miles or so, between the road and the Lake, were these ordinary, inconspicuous road signs that said "Lake Michigan". It just got funnier and funnier every time we saw one. <BR> <BR>Ya, that 200-mile-long body of water next me...um, what's it called again? Oh, right. Thanks again!

There is a no parking sign in the bay along Bayshore Drive in Pensacola, Florida. <BR> <BR>Also, once we were lost while driving in Wales. <BR>We got inside a town and couldn't find our way out. Upon finding our way out, we noticed the sign saying you are now leaving MOLD.
