Perfect Moment Monday - Signspotting


Welcome to Perfect Moment Monday sponsored by Lori of Weebles Webblog.

My Perfect Moment (actually multiple moments) came about as the result of a second hand book, "Sign Spotting" published by Lonely Planet Press. My mother volunteers at her community library in their used book store. She is always on the lookout for good books for herself and the family and picked up this book. My mom and I especially enjoy funny or amusing street or business signs. I read this book and was in tears laughing at some of these signs including-

The street sign, "Caution Blind Drivers Backing Out"

The Restaurant, "La Guachashito"

The Fruit Stand, "Flesh Produce"

Here are a few photos for your enjoyment:



Psst, Can you keep a secret?



This must be a challenge to market Barf cleaning products.



It looks like 65 feet is the new definition of "Bottomless".

Thank you for visiting and sharing in these silly signs.

These are too funny!

I especially like the Barf one. Who'd a thought to clean with it?

(Ewwww.)

Too funny. I keep meaning to get a picture of this odd sign in my neighborhood.

really cute. I love signs like these also. It would be fun to be the photographer dispatched to photograph all those signs, a bit of a full time job. =)

Funny stuff. These remind me of the things Jay Leno used to do (does he still do them?)

Like clothing store signs that say "Men's Pants Half Off" or "Ladies Blouses Now Open".

Awesome signs! I have this funny one taken near our old condo just north of Detroit that says..."Exit 69 Big Beaver Road" also I have one that says...These Trees were cut Illegally. I don't really get that one. What trees....and if they're gone, how do we know what ones they're talking about?
