Thread: Odd signs

In the 1970's about a week after the new Canberra CAE (now Canberra Uni) had opened there was a message on the back of a toilet door to the effect "With the continuing rate of inflation, free love won't be worth a f*** any more!"

Spotted these two on Wednesday

I had a look - they seemed normally content and happy

be interesting if at the local prison rather then the local hockey ground
Not sure what the penalty was for using the side gates - probably a short corner

I remember seeing a good one above a young fellas bed "Slippery When Wet"

Years ago I can remember a roadsign, ( one actually writen on the road surface ), in huge letters across the road, right in front of the main Entrance to a local School,- reading;- " SHOOL. " A South Australian Government Contractor was the culprit,- and that sign stayed there for ages,- till it finally got repainted, with the correct spelling !!!

I remember many moons ago, many many moons actually, a church in Hawthorn used to change the message on a large billboard every week or so. Something suitably religious and motivating. They changed the message to "What would you do if Jesus came to Hawthorn tomorrow?" Over night someone climbed up and wrote underneath "Move Peter Hudson to centre half forward"
For those who don't know, Peter Hudson was a leading AFL (VFL in those days) full forward who played for Hawthorn Football Club.

And heres a shot of a parking meter i took a while ago



I always want to grab that ticket and run before it comes out

In a Pennsylvania cemetery:
"Persons are prohibited from picking flowers from any but their own graves."

On a Tennessee highway:
"When this sign is under water, this road is impassable."

In a Maine restaurant:
"Open 7 days a week and weekends."

Outside a country shop:
"We buy junk and sell antiques."

In a Florida maternity ward:
"No children allowed."

This one goes a long way...

In the 1970s and in Arizona there was a brand of potato chips called "Clover Club". Most of their advertising was on the radio.

Announcer;
There were two little Indian boys, named Falling Rock and Sour Dough, delivered Clover Club from their wagon throughout Arizona. One day Falling Rock was missing. Sour Dough searched the entire state for Falling Rock.

Then a voice interrupts the announcer, "Did Sour Dough ever find Falling Rock?"
Announcer, "No. It seems that Falling Rock is lost for ever."
Voice, "Is Sour Dough the one that put up all the signs?"

End of radio commercial.

At that time, on the roads that were prone to rock slides had signs that said, "Watch for falling rock".

Now the signs just say "Falling Rock". It seems that too many drivers were trying to look up on the hillside for rocks falling down and not for the ones on the roadway.
