Throughout the world there are many common things that bind us together as part of the human race on this planet. One is that almost everywhere, people answer the phone with “hello” no matter what language they speak. You can be on a plane sitting on the tarmac in India and the Burmese gent next to you takes a call and begins by saying “hello.” Another common aspect of everyday l... Read Full Entry

This is one of my favorites. I chuckled at the thought. Not a bad idea.

Great idea - a blog about signs. We had a good laugh and remembered some which we took 'on the road'. Thanks for sharing :-).

THE PERFECT SIGN
Great idea for a blog. This pic a perfect example. A sign is supposed to warn or advise of something. This does that...and shows how ingenious some people are in making a buck!

Signs signs
Thanks for the giggle. Some of those are funny. Some of them I remember from my time in the UK and Europe... Did you eat at "Two Thin Ladies"? They used to do great cakes. M-

Signs
What a fun idea. I especially liked seeing signs that we have seen and commented on (i.e. especially the ones in Burma) but didn't think to take pictures of. When and where are you going next?? We head off to South Africa and Dubai in September, Bali next Spring/summer and Germany, Austria and Italy in fall of 2014.

We need to get together. I'll send an email. Let's plan something. You need to take pictures of signs. They make us laugh.

What a fun blog
I am another one who enjoys and takes pictures of signs, but never thought about writing a blog about them. This was such a fun blog. And the captions were even more fun than some of the signs.

Children warning
I thought you might laugh at that one. I also like the other one that says unattended children will be given a shot of expresso and a puppy! You've been warned....ha,ha,ha

Chinglish signs...
When we traveled in China in 2009, most of the highway signs were in Chinglish, so I was ready this time to take pictures of them. However, in the last five years such signs were replaced with proper translations, so nothing to take pictures of.

Too bad you missed the Chinglish signs
I would have enjoyed reading those. It is always funny when you realize what they intended to say.

I thought you couldn't post a link to a photo in a comment!
Can one (or more of you) look at this topic "Can I link to a photo in a comment?". I don't seem to be able to find the link to it. John

You are correct
YOu cannot link a photo in a comment. But if you comment on a particular photo in a blog that photo will show up in the comments.

Good ones....
My favorite sign was one I saw in Japan. It said 'Flesh Bakely'. Really? Would you like a flesh cake or a half dozen flesh cookies? BW- Do you know how my blog 'Beggars- a Continual Dilemma' went 'viral'? It seems unreal that almost 600 people would find my blog and just hit on that one. Where is your next trip? Carolyn

Hello Carolyn,
Great hearing from you again. I will have to go back and read that blog again. You never know what will catch someone's attention. Possibly the title. We are unsure about travel since we have just returned but are considering Switzerland in the fall if we get to go away. How about you?

Signs!!
These are fantastic ! I loved this Blog entry and the eclectic collection of signs you have put together, fabulous. We loved looking for odd signs and had many more we could have added but felt our entry was getting too big, maybe another one down the line is in order with a heading such as 'More signs we have seen'. Thanks for sharing. Mike & Trish V.
