Collection of Funny Signs

Some collection of funny signs found on the Internet.


Please don't throw your cigarette butts on the floor

This sign says …

“Please don’t throw your cigarette ends on the floor, the cockroaches are getting cancer.”

Now we don’t want that, do we?

Apparently, they don’t mind having cockroaches on the floor. But cigarettes, they mind.

This sign says …

“Employees motorcycle parking only”

I see that someone brought in their tricycle with a blue horn. I wonder how old are the employees that work here.

Here is a sign that states main entrance goes straight.  But fat sheeps go to the left. I didn’t know that sheeps can read.  And why does the sign call them fat.

This sign says …

“warning: children left unattended will be so to the circus.”

I guess they need people for the circus.


Poor Lobsters

This sign says …

“Please do not put hands in the water. You scare the lobsters!”

I’m guessing these are lobsters in a restaurant to be eaten. So we don’t want to have to eat scared lobsters.

I wouldn’t want to put my hands in there anyways. Their claws are bigger than mine.

This sign says …

“Do not stand, sit, climb or lean on fences. If you fall, animals could eat you and that might make them sick.”

Not only do we not want to scare the lobster, we don’t want to make the animals sick when they eat you.

This sign says …

“please do not use this area as a public toilet”

Apparently this particular area is used as a public toilet often enough that this sign has to be placed there.

Suggestion: it would probably help if the municipality put in a public toilet nearby.


Funny Church Signs

This church is going high-tech.

It says …

“wireless access to God with no roaming fee.”

With many places offering free WiFi these days, some churches are too.

What is that sign supposed to mean?

Apparently the sign does not know either.


No Carjacking

This sign shows a person breaking into a car — with a red slash across it.

For those who may not know, that means: “do not break into cars“.

This sign shows a car with a cow.

I don’t know if it is the car that hit the cow or the cow is eating the car.

Look at these two signs. It shows that Cemetery Drive leads to a dead end. Need I say more?

This sign says …

“We Cheat The Other Guy and Pass The Savings On To You!”

Gee. I’m not sure to say “Thanks” or “No Thanks”.


Stupid Sign in DC

This traffic signs says “Make Left”. But the arrow is pointing to the right. I guess they meant the other left.


Most humorous sign in OZ

The top sign is supposed to be a speed bump. And the bottom sign is supposed to be bird crossing — or ostrich crossing.

But someone re-drew the top sign to show a dead bird — marking it as “after”. Whereas the standing bird is “before”.

You get the picture.


A sign in Edinburgh

It is bad enough that the person in the wheelchair is rolling downhill out of control. But it is also about to go into the mouth of an crocodile. Or is that an alligator? Either way, it doesn’t look good.


Signs of Philadelphia

This sign says …

“Beware of, Well… Just Beware”

Beware of what?


Don't even think about it

Alright, there is already a sign that says “No Stopping Anytime”. But below that is another one that says …

“Red Zone: Don’t Even THINK of Parking Here”


Rest Room sign

What kind of restrooms are these?

It says …

“Rest Rooms, Please Fasten Seat Belts and Have a Safe Trip Home”

I guess this should be two separate signs. But then it wouldn’t be funny.

After the fasten seat belt for restroom sign, this next safety sign says …

“For your own safety, please do not climb on the lion.”

Climb on a lion? Don’t worry, I wasn’t planning on it.

This next safety sign says …

“Caution. This sign has sharp edges. Do not touch the edges of this sign.”

Looks like the sign is more dangerous than useful.

Oh wait. There is some fine print at the bottom. It says, “Also, the bridge is out ahead”. And a no-walking and no-car symbols on either side.

This sign says …

“Exit and Pass Out”

I hope not.

This sign point this way to peculiar.

Apparently there is a town called Peculiar Missouri. Now, it is not so funny.

I guess to peculiar is better than to where this sign is pointing to.


Recursive Escalator Sign

If the sign wasn’t there, there wouldn’t be a need for the sign. Would there?


Free WiFi in Toilets?

This sign says “We have Free Wi-Fi” and beneath that it says “Toilets” and “Welcome”.

Free wifi in toilet
Free wifi in toilet

Actually the sign is taken out of context.  There is probably a restaurant name at the top of the sign pointing left and it has free Wi-Fi.  The toilets are to the right.

Corpse Flower smells Terrible and is Tallest in World

Usually flowers produce a nice scent.  However this flower known as “corpse flower”, or titan arum by its scientific name, smells terrible. It is also known as amorphophallus titanum, which in Greek means “without form giant”.  More on Wikipedia.

If the flower looks big, it is.  It can reach 9 feet in height.  Look at the picture here of person next to the 2.11 meter tall flower in Kew Gardens in London.  BBC News article says the corpse flower is tallest in the world.  Also mentioned here.

In May 2003, BBC News reports of a corpse flower in University of Germany Boon that was 2.74 meters tall and 15 years old that was supposedly tallest in the world at the time.

People have referred to the smells as “rotting flesh” and “fully smelly” and “cooking cabbage and a dead rat in the wall, a mixture of the two” [source]

The smell is supposed to attract flies and carrion beetles which helps the flower pollinate.  This may be why it is also sometimes known as “carrion flower”.

The spadix in full bloom is the about the same temperature as the human body.  And this may also help attract insects that eat carcasses.

The flower grows in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra and Indonesia.  However, it sometimes can be found on display at some time in the past in botanical gardens including University of California at Berkeley’s Botanical Garden and Houston Museum of Natural Science and Kew Gardens in London and others.
