Sue has asked us to share some signs for this week’s challenge. I’m always on the lookout for signs, and have been known to demand that hubby slam on brakes when I spot a good one.
Travelling through Cornwall last August, I was intrigued by this one, and it wasn’t even as though Christmas was just around the corner.
My sister sent me this one after a visit to her local grocery store. Obviously spelling wasn’t this sign writer’s best subject at school. It did make me giggle though.
Half way along our beach promenade is a restaurant run by the Life Savers Association. I would happily pay to ring the bell if Dolphins should appear whilst I was eating breakfast there.
Since our return here a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a distinct lack of Doggy Doo along the beautifully paved promenade. I wonder if this sign has anything to do with the cleaner environment.
I’m quite infamous for getting lost, and this signpost in San Pedro would make me even more confused than usual. The ‘STOP’ sign is probably the one I should take the most notice of. I’m sure if I just stood still for a while, hubby would be sure to find me.
Today I’ve been so busy in the house, cleaning, washing, and sorting out stuff to take with us and deciding what to give away, as we start to pack for our move. I could really do with one or both of these buttons.
I know one shouldn’t laugh at people’s tombstones, but this one in the graveyard next to the O.K.Corral in Arizona, did make me giggle. Poor old Lester; what a way to go.
My Sister-in-Law in England has two Irish sons who absolutely fit this advertisement posted out on her deck. I don’t know how much they charge, but whatever it is,Β you’d certainly get your money’s worth.
So there you have eight signs to choose from. My favourite would be the Kitchen Maid one. What’s yours?

Nice one AD
Thanks, Chris. π
The tombstone was a laugh but I liked the ‘glutton-free bread’ best! LOL!
Yes, that Spar poster was quite a find. π
Great collection! I also love the kitchen maid sign, and I must say the tombstone too π
Thanks, Inge. Glad I gave you some smiles. π
I have to vote for poor ol’ Les cause he is no more. π¦
Ag shame, poor old Les! Let’s hear it for him. π
Hip hip…
π
RIP, RIP
π Trust you to rise to the occasion, Gemma.
Thanks for the laughs that make our day. The sh#t gets me. π
Thanks, Rommel. Glad you enjoyed these. Would you perhaps ring for the dairymaid? π
I like the kitchen maid too, Ad. Such a pretty sign. But I’d love to be able to ring that bell π
Thanks for stating your preference, Jo. π Dolphins at breakfast would be a fine sight.
great sign collection…gotta love the STOP sign thought.
Thanks, Heather. Glad you enjoyed these. π
I do like the “gluten-free” sign but certainly understand why the “housemaid” one is high on your list. Good luck with the packing. π
Thanks so much, LuAnn. I actually prefer to do everything myself. π
I am there with you. π
These are fab. I like the ‘glutten free’ one LOL. I saw one outside a cafe one day that said ‘screambled eggs’. Haaaa – boy did those eggs scream! π
Thanks, Dianne. Yes, we all scream for screambled eggs. π
The ‘Authentic’ Irishman is my pick π
You would be charmed beyond words, if you met my young nephew Dorian. π
Great signs = Great smiles π
Good girl. π
thanks you made me read all signs – and smile!
Thanks, Frizz. Glad you enjoyed. π
These are great fun Sylvia! I love the ‘Authentic Irishman’ one. Just wondering, if this is what an authentic one does, what on earth does a fake one do?? π
Thanks, Sherri. I’ve never met a fake Irishman. If I do, I’ll let you know. π
Haha π
Great signs . . . probably the Glutten Free Bread.
Thanks, Nancy. Wise choice. π
Love the sign collection! …. My favorite? ….. “Used Cows For Sale” (yes, I’ve seen it) … and I listed some signs in 2009 http://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2009/01/11/on-sign-messages/
Thanks, Frank. Used cows for sale, is a very funny one. π
The kitchen sign would be my favourite, having someone to buzz for assistance, every woman’s dream.
Hahaha. This sign seems to be very popular. π
Thanks for the big smile … great catches!! I have to start looking for funny signs too.
Glad you enjoyed these, Viveka. π
… had a great visit. *smile
I love the Glutten-free bread! Nearly fell off my chair laughing!
I also thought it was priceless, although I’m sure it was more expensive than the non glutten-free. π
I think my favourite is the Glutten Free bread – not only is it gluten free, but someone it would stop you eating too much, and being a glutton! π
Yes, that sign is hilarious. π
Oh, what I wouldn’t do to see some dolphins and ring that bell π
I’ve never heard the bell rung. π¦
hopefully before you leave you will
Hi Sylvia,
What a fun post. Hard to choose a fav, but I’d go with Lester Moore’s tombstone, because I’m a sucker for fine poetry!
Thanks, Naomi. Yes, Wordsworth has nothing on the guy who wrote Lester’s epitaph. π
I’ll take the Maid, too, please…
You can have her, Gunta. I have plenty of help in my kitchen, as long as I let him lick out the bowls. π
PS: whats not to like about a stag. Remember the old connotation?
Woo-hoo!! π―
Heheeeee!
I like signs too! Gotta do this one if it kills me : ) Miss ya !
Thanks, Kathryn. Hope it doesn’t kill you. π
The challenge won’tβ¦..: )
Hilarious. The Irish one sounds particularly fun.
Thanks, Sue. Yes these Irishmen are hard to beat. π
I love how you are able to categorize your photos! Amazing!
Thanks, Rebecca. For “categorise”, please read, “digging around.” π
LoL. My favorite one is the bell and the dolphin.
I would love to be there when the Dolphins show themselves. π
My fave is the dolphin bell.
Also gives me an idea… Gator Bell!
Great idea, Phil! You could put one around his neck. π
I think ole Lester, or whoever put him in the ground had a good sense of humor.
Well, I’m sure that olde Lester didn’t think it was very funny when he got slugged. π¦
Yea…probably not
while the maids would be helpful the Irishman has to be my favourite …. gave me a good laugh and virtual bit of carrying on!
Oh yes, a bit of carrying on is always more entertaining than doing the washing up. π
una serie davvero divertente! questo la dice lunga come infondo tutto il mondo non Γ¨ che un grande villaggio globale, Ho trovato la piΓΉ spassosa quella del Belize, siccome come ti ho detto amerei andare, credo passerΓ² a suggerire che mettano un cartello anche per Pisa ha ha
π
a really fun series! This says a lot as around the world is one big global village, I found the most hilarious one of Belize, because as I said I would love to go, I think I will suggest you put a sign for Pisa ha ha
Thanks, Ventis. I hope you do get to visit Belize one day. I’d love to go back there. π I have been to Pisa, but didn’t see you there. ;(
Funny, thanks for the smiles. I’m glad you’re husband as great reflexes and braking skills!!
Glad you enjoyed, Elisa. Hubby usually obeys my commands. π
Great finds! How about this one? http://whichwaynow101.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/ill-bet-youve-never-seen-this-sign/
Thanks, Carol. Yes, I see what you mean. A very necessary warning sign, I think. π
I’ll take half a dozen please…….. of the stags that is. The owners can keep the doogie-dos~
Whatever will you do with half a dozen stags, Cindy? You don’t have to answer. π
The signs are priceless.
Why would one want to ring for a dairymaid? Sudden urge for milk?
Glad you enjoyed, Col. I wonder about that. I’ve almost run out of milk here, but no dairymaid to come to my assistance. π¦
These signs are great! Love the maid one, too, though the tombstone is a good one, as well.
Thanks, John. Glad you enjoyed. π
I like the dolphin one.
Hey, anyplace there might be random dolphin sightings…
That’s for sure, El G. Gorgeous creatures. π
Funny signs. π
Thanks, Imelda. π
Great entry! Each sign made me smile and my favorite is the same as yours π
Thanks so much. Glad I made you smile. π
Those are great! Maybe I’m just partial to Irish men and dolphins but those are my favorites. I love the tombstone too.
Thanks, Sheila. I’m with you on the Irish men and Dolphins. π
