Crazy, Hilarious Signs to Test Your English Skills

A collection of some funny signs from around the world, cleverly put together to tell a crazy story.

I didn't "see" this one coming…(sorry couldn't resist). Joking aside, you would think that some people couldn't see signs and take things seriously if you didn't repeat yourself - a lot. Hence…

I thought that they'd made that crystal clear, but then I went round the corner and saw this…

It's clear they didn't listen, and when I asked why not, they said, “Listen…”

Then rattled on about what they sell at the above shop…

I said “No thanks, not for me. I only ever have the hard type - if there is a side salad.” However, they said they were flat out of that sort, and were actually waiting for a delivery. So I took out my cigarettes to have a smoke while I waited, but the Manager pointed at the sign…

I shouted at him, “You could just put up a “No Smoking” sign!” but he said that they couldn't afford one because things were getting expensive these days, and everything had to be cut back…

The slump in world markets means that even bottomless pits have got to down-scale. Things just ain't what they used to be.

“I ain't eating here no more!” I shouted and stomped out. I knew there was another shop near by that always had fine food. However, when I rode up I noticed they'd put up a new sign…

Even though I was thankful for the up-front warning, I felt like banging my head against a concrete wall because I was so hungry, tired and frustrated. Then I saw the answer to all my troubles…

…I only hoped that I could get a decent meal first.

Hey, I've been to the last one on the list. Funniest thing there was watching the tourists take photographs of the guide slide show using flash on their cameras ;)

The second sign is really funny, especially if you can read the other language (marathi) on it too!! I know, since i could.
Think it must be somewhere outside a zoo. Only then it could make sense!
Thanx Anne for the great morning laughs!

"Be Aware of Invisibility" is definitely my favorite. "Eat Here, Get Gas & Worms" is very clever (extending a joke I've heard before), but I never thought anyone would have the moxie to actually use such a double entendre on purpose. Shows what I know...

Interesting article, funny too.
I liked the bottomless pit that wasn't
bottomless. It made me wonder who would
make such dumb signs. Anyway you should
check out my stuff some of it is pretty funny.
