Ailsa’s travel theme this week, is ‘Signs’. I’ve seen a few funny and strange signs on my travels:
This first one is not at all funny, and was a stark reminder of the terrible Tsunami which struck this beautiful seaside resort, in 2004.
This is on the wall of my sister-in-law’s patio in England. Her two younger sons are Irish born and bred. π
This was a chocolate drink offered in a restaurant in England, and if you know anything about our South African president, you will understand why I found the description so apt.
Here is the name of a shop in Bali, selling replica watches, such as Rolex, Breitling, Cartier etc.. I think it should rather read “Bogus watches.”Β There was also a sign in the window advertising that they sell, “Genuine fake sunglasses.” π
I couldn’t resist snapping this sign above a Phuket massage parlour.
The name of this supermarket in the USA, really amused me. They sold excellent takeaway Sushi though.
I was really thrilled when I saw this iconic sign for the first time in real life.
On a visit to Coney Island, I wasn’t even remotely tempted to venture inside this establishment. Would you ever? π―
This tombstone in Tombstone, Arizona, declares the fate of poor Lester Moore in verse. They didn’t call it ‘The Wild West’ for no reason. π
Closer to home, I saw this outside a beach apartment block when we went for a walk today.
At our local hardware store, I had to smile at these signs for sale.
Well that’s all I can find at short notice. The funniest sign I’ve ever seen, and I don’t have a photo, was emblazoned above a restaurant in China. “Mr Beef – Seafood Restaurant. ” π

(My son and granddaughter arrived safely in Cape Town last night, where they will be for the weekend with friends, before flying to Durban on Monday morning. Roll on Monday. :))
Cool signs and the real picture of Lester’s tombstone.
Thanks, YC. Glad you liked it. π

I think you found the funniest signs in the world! I laughed at every one of them. The Irishman sounds like fun. I could do with some dancing and carrying on…
Thanks, Trish. My two Irish nephews are great at dancing and carrying on. π

Love the ‘Family by appointment only’!!
Yes, that’s a really good one. I wouldn’t dare put it up here. π
“Rich,Dark, Smooth, Zuma” Need i say more…..?
It says it all. π
Just a pity the rich is money stolen, *sigh*
I know, and what can we do about it? Zilch!
Just sit by and watch the time fly by….
I am with Jo on this, all my favorites. Made me smile too. π
Thanks, Myra. π
Some very funny and clever signs! Love the headstone!
Thanks so much. Yes, that headstone really tickled me. π
you really made my day with these signs…I cannot pick a favourite as I love them all
Thanks, Jo. Glad I gave you a giggle. π
Brilliant! The Dog Owners reminds me of my uncle who used to fight with a neighbour about picking the dog’s droppings:-)
Thanks so much, cocoa. π Your uncle was quite right.
Wow! that is some collection of sign photos! Love the friends welcome/ beware of dog signs. And Irishman “for carrying on”??? π
Thanks, Madhu. Glad you found some of them amusing. π
Great selection AD π

somehow I can’t see me enjoying that Zuma! π
I didn’t order one either. π
Nice fun post!
Thanks so much, deepa. π
Wow! These are really cool and fascinating signs. Whenever I go around town, there’s always a sign that stands out. fun post!

Lota of humor through travel and within the theme. Well done … and enjoy the time with your son and granddaughter!

Rich, smooth, dark, YUM!
Cool signs. π
Thanks, Gemma. You’re welcome to our Zuma. π
I’ve seen a few of those myself,the one’s over the USA. I used to drive past the Hollywood one weekly in a tractor trailer,LOL! Lord,I haven’t seen a Piggly Wiggly in AGES!!!
The DC
Glad you enjoyed, DC. I’m sure that Hollywood sign is MUCH bigger than it looks from down below. π
LOL,IDK,nly ever seen it from the cozy confines of an air onditioned tractor π
I didn’t know there we such things as air-conditioned tractors. π
Oh yeah…Peterbuilts,Freightliners,Kenworths…not FARM tractors π
Great signs!
Thanks, Sue. π
Great signs!! Wow, that headless woman only charges 50 cents?? What a bargain! And the “genuine fake watches!” That one cracks me up every time I see it, which surprisingly is quite often! Have fun with your son and granddaughter!
An absolute bargain for sure. I have to confess that I was just a teensy bit curious, but I wasn’t going to pay even 50 cents to find out. π
Haha, you’re funny! I’m not sure I would have paid it either, just because it seems so skanky. But you never know, it might be interesting!!
I’ll never know now, as it’s not I place I’d ever want to return to. π
enjoy the visit.
Terrible weather here in CT!
Thanks, Rosa. Yes, I heard about your awful storms and cold. Its beautiful in Durban. π
Wonderful selections of signs from all over.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Thanks, Francine. π
An excellent collection! Piggly Wiggly is mad, the headless woman is miraculous but Zuma wins hands down!
Hehehe. You said it, Gilly. π
Bwaahahaha, these are hysterical, adinparadise, I love it. xxxx Ailsa
