Curry In A Hurry?
 
What are some of your favorite signs you've seen while traveling?

On one of the highways through North Carolina, one of the exits is for Climax/High Point. Either Rt. 29 or 220?

Driving through the English countryside, I had DH make a u-turn to get a picture of a store sign advertising:

"PMS Furniture"

Who knew!

There's a town in Germany - I believe just off the road between Rothenburg and Dinkelsbeuhl. The signpost says

Wart ->

Hey GT..
The funniest sign I have seen and it was on Jay Leno as well was in my hometown of San Diego on Highway 5 South right before the Airport exit there used to be a sign that read:
"Cruise Ships use Airport Exit"
Classic!

Not while I'm traveling, but visitors to our island see the following sign.

There is a local man who sells pork and his house is the first one on the road going toward the brothel. Therefore, there is a sign with an arrow that points in the direction of the brothel and says, "Fresh meat for sale."

Of course, the sign was put up by the man selling the pork, but nevertheless cracks me up everytime I pass it and see that arrow pointing toward the brothel, as well.

PMS Furniture?!? I love it! I hate it!! I love it! I hate it!! ;-) Too funny.

One of my all time favorite signs is at the airport in Salzburg; it reads, "Kiss and Fly". Sadly, my picture of it was lost. Anyone have a copy?!?

Here's another from England.

These are all so funny!!

Here in Austin we used to have a beauty salon called "Curl up and Dye."

Last we went to a wedding reception at a golf country club with a circular driveway. It was raining, and the women were being dropped off at the door. My husband pointed out a nearby sign which read, "Bag dropoff".

This is a sign that should have been:

We were driving by the corrections center for the Hopi reservation, and my husband said "Do you know what that is?" "What?"
"The Hopi Pokey" You probably had to be there but I just laughed and laughed.

LOL, love this thread.

A BBQ place opened up in the city where I had my business. The name of it was Chicken Spit. The named was changed within months!!

When I was a child there was a resturant in our town called Lick-A-Chick.
And I saw a sign last year in the city I live in advertising:
Sarnia Organ Donors Association
Meat Raffle

There's a plumbing company up north called Turdbusters! The graphic they have on their trucks is similar to Ghostbusters and it makes me laugh every time I see it.

I also love the "speed hump" signs they have around the country. We have "speed BUMP" signs here instead.

In Koh Samui passed a sign that read

DONG

I m sure my girlfriend wanted to check it out

Statia... where in the heck do you live?
Island brothel?

Statia Sep 5th, 2006 06:43 AM

TxTravelPro...I'm on a tiny island in the Dutch West Indies (yes, it's legal here), although I originally hail from Texas. :)

TxTravelPro Sep 5th, 2006 06:46 AM

Wow! How lucky you are to live a vacation 365 days a year!

tcreath Sep 5th, 2006 07:33 AM

LOL....we have a "Curry in a Hurry" restaurant here in St. Louis! I haven't been, but some of my coworkers swear by it!

On hwy 61 from Memphis, TN to Tunica, MS, there is a strip mall with lots of small stores with a name ending in -mania. My favorite is hairmania- 12 inches of human hair for $1.99. I always wonder how many strands of hair come with that.

There's also a sign along I-65 going north from Nashville, TN to Indianapolis, IN for Tattoo Charlies- done while you wait.
