Did I read that sign “write”?

While I wait for the creative juices to flow, here is a collection of funny signs I received on email from a friend (source unknown – before the friend I mean) that I enjoyed reading:

In an office:
TOILET OUT OF ORDER……. PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW

In a Laundromat:
AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES: PLEASE REMOVE ALL YOUR CLOTHES WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT

In a London department store:
BARGAIN BASEMENT UPSTAIRS

In an office:
WOULD THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE STEP LADDER YESTERDAY PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR FURTHER STEPS WILL BE TAKEN

In an office:
AFTER TEA BREAK STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE TEAPOT AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD

Outside a second-hand shop:
WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING – BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?

Notice in health food shop window:
CLOSED DUE TO ILLNESS

Spotted in a safari park:
ELEPHANTS PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR

Seen during a conference:
FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN’T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE 1ST FLOOR

Notice in a farmer’s field:
THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES.

On a repair shop door:
WE CAN REPAIR ANYTHING. (PLEASE KNOCK HARD ON THE DOOR – THE BELL DOESN’T WORK).

I hope you do too.

    • Strangely, I get an option for a ‘like” button on my phone which allows me to click it but does not show anywhere on the blog. On a laptop, the fellow does not even show up and offer itself for a click. Guess I have a lot to learn about technology.

  1. 1. The Association Minister unveiled the church’s new fund raising campaign slogan last Sunday: “I upped my pledge – up yours”

    4. Pot-luck supper Sunday at 5 PM- prayer and medication to follow.
    5. This evening at 7 PM there will be a hymn singing in the park across from the church. Bring a blanket and become prepared to sin.
    6. Don’t let worry kill you off – let the church help.
    7. For those of you that have children and don’t know it, we have a nursery downstairs.
    8. Miss Charlene Mason sang “I Will Not Pass this Way Again” giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.

  2. Sign boards in foreign countries often become laughing stock because of the “illiterate” English. Nationals seem determined to write in English to attract tourist. But can we even start to defend grammatically incorrect signs in our own country? Signs like “Please drive carefully for our childrens sake.”
