The internet has hundreds of sites with funny signs from all over the world. I've always enjoyed them and I've even photographed a few of my own. I wonder if a thread for KBoarders' sign discoveries would fly. Only this morning a friend told me of a sign outside a drive in grocery offering Coke in "two litter bottles." Alas, she didn't have a camera. The only rule I'd suggest is that the picture not be snagged from some other webpage, but an original contribution from you or someone you know. To start, I'll post this one which I found yesterday.  |

 This was on a door on the 19th floor at a hotel in Dallas. We were there attending a conference. My roommate saw it and said "yeah, somehow I don't think this will be a problem for me." Anyway, we giggled every time we went by. Just such an odd thing. I mean, do people routinely walk around on the roof of their hotels? |

An actual road sign near me. it always gets a, "What the ..?" reaction from folks seeing it the first time.  |

Well, yeah, I did. I don't wanna get fussy about it, but people have sent me crazy church signs for years. I never knew there might be a website where you could actually make one--not that this is necessarily one of those. It could be a real, bizarre combination. But like I said, I just wonder. Here's a real combination that I find interesting, and I guarantee it's real. I took it myself:  |

The road runs parallel to the tracks until it end at a T intersection if you turn right you are immediately on the tracks which go into a blind curve. It's the main line between Detroit and Chicago with lots of trains. I believe the sign is supposed to warn you of that fact. ie. don't just look left before turning. |

These guys.   They are blue Australian penquins that stand about 1.5 feet tall. These pictures were taken at zoo outside Sydney, the sign picture is from Philips Island where every night there's a penquin parade. The birds spend all day out in the water, and around sunset, they come back on to land to their nests. And you can sit on bleachers on the beach and watch them come up out of the water. It's really cool. But some of their nests are past the parking lot, so you have to check under your car when you leave to make sure they're not under them. |

 I have to say that I'm glad no cars or trucks are allowed on pedestrian walkway. |
