Lol, Funny Signs, Wtf, and Silly Billboards

by thestickman on 16/12/08 at 4:58 am

A sign is worth a thousand words, but if it can be funny, fewer words are better. It’s all good. Here are a few humorous signs and posted warnings that could be from your neighborhood or from your neighbor. Sure to make you smile.

You Can Bank On It!

If this is a problem (customers coming into the bank wearing masks) I might consider doing my banking elsewhere. Or, do my banking online. I will take my coins and ‘dead presidents’ elsewhere for deposit.

Please Do Not Feed The Animals

Image source

A grocery store in my hometown had a similar sign in their window. They had a trained German Shepard Attack Dog which they would leave loose in the store at night. The sign on the front window requested that anyone considering breaking in at night to please remove their glasses, watches, jewelry and dentures (if applicable) before entering, as Tasha (their guard dog) finds these objects difficult to digest.

There Must Have Been A Problem

Image source

I can’t even imagine what lead to this sign going up. Apart from the obvious, of course. I have seen similar signs on restrooms stating the obvious; “We aim to please. So YOU aim too, please!”

Church Sign

Image source

I’ll bet that this is a fun place to visit once a week. Some of these southern church signs can be quite creative. So, be fruitful and multiple, and see you in church next Sunday!

Sign of the Times

Image source

These always seem to be attention getters, especially in the southern part of the eastern U.S.. Churches often poke fun at passersby with messages on billboards.

McD’s at the New Amsterdam?

Image source

In this clearly Photoshopped image, we see what might be the new policies in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. They are allegedly aiming to ‘clean up the brothels’ which are rife with corruption, crime, and mob violence. Somehow though, I suspect that the free attitudes regarding MJ will be left alone.

Kiddy Caffeine and Cuddly Canines

Image source

“Unattended children will be given an espresso and a puppy” should be adequate warning for adults to keep a mind on their children’s whereabouts.

Santa Needs A Drink!

Image Source

Yeah guy, it has got to be ‘Beer:30 P.M.’ somewhere, so go for it! The look on this poor Santa’s face is priceless! He is trying to do his job and these two children are making it impossible. As the parent of a 4 year-old child myself, who just this year permitted him to sit with Santa for a few photographs, this is hilarious! Last year, this might have just as easily been OUR child wailing!

Grrrrr, Bark, Woof. Good Dog

Image Source

Nobody expects the Spaniel Deposition! Clean up after your dog.

As If Roadkill Was Not Funny Enough…

Image source

Someone posed his or her G.I. Joe dolls around this hapless dead ground squirrel, as if it were a trophy taken in the hunt. Big game season indeed!

More LOL and funny pictures here.

This site is totally photoshopped. Actually many things are shopped, such as garden gnomes, steak, action figures, banks, dinner plates, marble tile, and money just to name a few.
This comment….Also shopped.

Extremely funny stuff. I think that we all hang back a little when posting to sites (Trifter seems a weird choice for this but WTH!!) associated with the Big T. I can only guess that your *true* sense of humour is sick, sick, sick…

Fantastic! :-) )

Without the G.I. Joes, the photo of the dead squirrel would’ve been just sad. With them, it’s hilarious. Someone had a good eye when he came up with that shot. (You have to wonder how it would look with World of Warcraft dolls.)

Thanks for the set — those that are “Photoshopped” and those that ain’t.

I love it!!! The garden center sign is the best! I wish more businesses would do something like that. I have kids of my own and I get so annoyed when other people let their kids run amok. Give them an espresso and a puppy and let the parents suffer! LOL! Great article and funny signs. Thanks for the laugh!

Hey smartypants, can you please do your research before you describe Amsterdam as ‘rife with violence’? You’ll find that you might find a completely different picture.
Thank you.

Dec 23rd, 2008

I am sorry if you were offended. We probably have mafia in Canada too and there’s places in this city where even Jesus himself won’t go. Read this, -it is what I was referring to.

Doesnt Texas share a border with Mexico? Isnt Mexico south of the states? Wouldnt that make Texas southern? Or is Texas just ’shopped to appear to be in the south?

Lisa Remi

Dec 23rd, 2008

Hilarious

thestickman

Dec 23rd, 2008

“Doesnt Texas share a border with Mexico?”

Texan, Mexicans… -we northerners always get those two confused. ;-D

But seriously, ‘Texans’ are a proud lot and that sign DOES say “Galveston/Houston”, meaning Texas, which is considered to be well, -not ’southern.’ Could say that they are a bit south of the Bible Belt though…

Very nice! lol nooo keep the espresso and puppy away please.

To shamelessly plug here, could you check out my “Overblown: Caylee Anthony” write-up when you get time? You can Google it. Feedback welcome.

Ralph Brandt

Dec 23rd, 2008

Have you thought of including one like the squirrel but use a figure that represents an illegal alien?

B Nelson

Dec 23rd, 2008

very funny. A store near me uses the “Espresso/puppy” threat too, I keep telling my daughter to go over there and ask what kind of puppy….

Mark Gordon Brown

“write something that your readers will learn!”

as in, ’stir the pot’ maybe?

I often do write informative articles and how-to;

“NOT YOUR ORIGINAL SIGNS THAT YOU MADE…”

No, never claimed that. These comes from “Creative Commons”, the “Image Source” cited below every picture as per agreement with author, and Flickr. They are there on Flicker’s “CC” for community use, redistribution and commercial use (with attribution to author.) Everything is above board, permitted and allowed. Triond will not permit use of copyright material without prior written consent or release (they check ALL images prior to publishing.)

I think you liked it despite some misgivings about ‘originality’ regarding the images. Often, presenting the gifted works of others in a unified article shows light upon the individual artists’ work (hence, the link-back attribution.)

I like (and encourage) reactions such as that of #69. (thanks!)
