Seasonal Funny Signs


picture of no signs sign

It's been a while since I posted some funny signs, and readers have been keeping me supplied. Thanks! Here in the Carolinas, autumn is in full swing. It seems as if the colors are not going to be as spectacular as usual, though, due to the timing of this year's drought. Many, but not all, of today's signs have something to do with the fall season.

One of my readers from Germany visited the zoo in Heidelberg several weeks ago and saw a sign he knew I'd love. I'm not sure if they're selling hot ice or something ice hot.

It's strange, but "ice hot" could be an apt description of autumn days here in South Carolina since it's in the low 40's in the morning and in the low 80's in the afternoon. You need a snow suit in the morning and a swim suit in the afternoon!

Cyclists seem to love autumn especially — we run into so many of them on the roads this time of year. (Not literally, of course....) :-) Here in Greenville some streets have been modified to include bicycle lanes. It would be great to see the following on the pavement in one of those bike lanes.

Here's a sign that seems to have some sort of message for motorists and cyclists, but the meaning is a bit obscure. Is it about "running into cyclists?"

The words on the pavement below seem to conflict with the arrow.

This would be a fun scene to stumble upon.

My wife and I got our seasonal flu shots, as we've done each year for probably decades. This sign could be a good reminder, if you knew for sure what they're offering.

With winter right around the corner, we look forward to using our gas logs occasionally. Since they're unvented, our flue is closed. If our flue needs a shot, how do they do that?

With election season at a fever pitch (read: almost shrill), here several seasonal signs I like very much.

That's next week! Ahhhhh! :-)

If you see a funny sign, please snap a picture and send it my way. Any comments on today's signs?

I'm Rob, the ivman, and I approve this message.

Experience is that sinking feeling that you have made this same mistake before.

    How ironic that the “Had enough hope and change” billboard has CBS at the bottom! And, yes, I have had more than enough of a certain man’s hope and change. I’m ready for some of a certain South Carolinian’s view of hope and change. Praying for the elections!!

    Rob adds: I saw that too, Ellen. Funny. I’m eager to see how the elections turn out.

    “No signs allowed”. The duality of message and context. What a way to start a Monday. Thanks for the post. It gave me the laugh I need to get the work week started right.

    Rob adds: You’re quite welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. :-)

    I think the sign with symbols of an automobile and two cyclists is warning cyclists to beware of cars emitting death rays in the middle of intersections.

    Rob adds: Evil cars! :-D

    I loved the pavement sign with the cyclist and car!

    As well as how you closed your post, which was very clever with election day right around the corner.

    Rob adds: Thanks, JD. Here’s an election-related picture I saw recently that is also apt.

    I went to the billboard website, they loop through all of their examples. It’s worth going there and seeing all of them. Remember November and throw the Socialists out!

    Rob adds: I’m not sure what billboard site you’re talking about, Tim.

    Hahaha! And that last sign is exactly what we did!

    I think it is the Senate that is now a Republican majority.

    Rob adds: The House has a Republican majority, but the Senate is still controlled by the Democrats.
