Following are actual signs written for English speaking travelers from various countries: <BR> <BR>Norway - cocktail lounge: Ladies are requested not to have children in the bar. <BR> <BR>Budapest Zoo: Please do not feed the animals. If you have any suitable food, give it to the guard on duty. <BR> <BR>Hotel in Acapulco: The manager has personally passed all the water served here. <BR> <BR>Nairobi restaurant: Customers who find our waitresses rude ought to see the manager. <BR> <BR>Indian maternity ward: No children allowed. <BR> <BR>Swiss restaurant: Our wines leave you nothing to hope for. <BR> <BR>Rome laundry: Ladies, leave your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a good time. <BR> <BR>Airline ticket office, Copenhagen: We take your bags and send them in all directions.

In a London club on a flight of stairs (with a low ceiling where you could easily bump your head): "Mind your egg"

On my way to school a couple of years ago I noticed a sign outside of Ace Hardware that read "Hookers on aisle 5." A friend later went back to take a picture, so that we could always remember the laugh we had.

Car and Driver magazine often runs examples of funny signs. I remember two that I saw in the magazine which I saw in person sometime later. One was a sign on an expressway near Portland, Oregon, for an exit to the towns of Boring, OR, and Oregon City, OR. The sign read "Boring Oregon City." I also remember a sign on I-68 near the WV/MD border for the following oxymoronic exit: "Fairchance Road/Cheat Lake." Also, in Quebec, they use brown signs with pictographs for tourist attractions. The most unusual pictograph was one for a naturist colony -- a stylized man, woman, and child naked, standing as seen from behind.

At a sign by a pond in Singapore: <BR> <BR>"No swimming. no fishing, no releasing of tortoises. Fine $500". <BR> <BR>Kids often buy baby terrapins and throw them out after the tire of them. <BR> <BR>

In Venice next to an arch entering an alley: Do not piss here! in 4 languages

When the construction began on the Big Dig in Boston, there was a sign on the Southeast Expressway as you entered the tunnel: <BR> <BR>"If Rome had been built in a day, we would have hired their engineers." <BR> <BR>The sign has since been replaced, the construction is not complete, but the Big Dig is still going on and on and on (just like the Energizer Bunny).

While visiting my sister in Baton Rouge, LA, I noticed a sign in the parking lot of my hotel - it said "Ladies Parking Only" - just like handicap! Being a native New Yorker, I'm not used to such Southern Hospitality! I took a picture of it to show everyone back home.

The Basel University College of Pharmacy's address is number 3, Totengässlein (dead man's lane) and for many yeary the tramway stop for the University Hospital was "Totentanz" (death man's dance), they eventually changed it to "Predigerkirche" (dominicans' church).... <BR> <BR>Phil.

a few weeks ago in Provence at Isle sur la Sorgue we saw a well groomed fenced in area with a wooden sign that pictured a dog with his hind leg raised.

At a dog grooming shop ' "Doggie Styles" <BR> <BR>On the back of a Septic tank truck: <BR>"We're Number One in the Number Two Business..."

This one is similar to Kathleen's posting.There is a sign at the England/Scotland Border,which says in English,French & German'Drive on the left'.As the sign was nowhere near a port or airport,and one would have to have driven a considerable distance from any direction,to get that far,by which time you would have noticed if you were on the wrong side of the road.DOH!

This is more morbid than funny, but in the Bordeaux area, France, we kept driving past these signs that had an outline of a person with a big jagged crack through their head and a number below. We were later told it showed how many pedestrian casualties had occured on that stretch of road. I don't know if this is really true but it made us nervous crossing streets!

In India-a sign before a bridge that said " Bicycles only, no elephants"

On the Pennsylvania turnpike, one of those electronic signs said "Beware of attack deer".

I kid you not a small town in Brazil called *uck. Sign of course had an arrow and distance. In the town there was a fiat dealership called *uck fiat. Very funny stories from that.

I did not read all of the posts, but so it may be here but in Key West Florida there is a cemetary that is a must see and on one of the tumb stones it read 'SEE, I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK'. This may be a little morbid, but it was written on one.

Saw "get out dum yanky" spray painted on a wall in Venice! <BR> <BR>There was a left arrow on a mountain that, if obeyed, would have sent me and my passenger careening down a cliff into the ocean in Italy (no guard rails).

My all time favorite was posted outside a shop in a souk in Aswan, Egypt. It stated, "10 out of 9 tourists shop here." Then it further inticed one to enter by claiming, "No hasseling" <BR> <BR>I also like the tempting, "Pizza Sewar" in Jordan, and even mundane, "Pizza System" in Monaco <BR> <BR>Also fun was the movie poster in New Dehli for the film "Indecent Exposure". It was a gaudily painted sign in neon colors that didn't resemble the actors whatsoever!

Just a few weeks ago, I spotted a sign in a fenced-off grassy area outside a supermarket in Shanghai: <BR> <BR>Please take care of the sleeping grass
