Unusual signs found while caching

I didn't see this one while geocaching, and didn't have a camera ready, but my favorite sign has always been the deer crossing sign I saw while driving with my family across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in the summer of 1984 on one of the middle bridge sections. I love the mental imagery of a deer leaping out of the bay onto the bridge and back into the bay :laughing:

My favorite sign wasn't found while caching, but it said "Tattoos While You Wait"

The first time we saw it, my mother almost wrecked the car because of how hard she was laughing.

What are you supposed to do. Order it, pay for it, and then come back to pick it up later?

 

:lol:

We saw this modified stop sign on our way to a cache last weekend.

It says "STOP EVIL" for those of you who are having trouble deciphering it from the lousy angle we got of it from our car :D

Please enlighten the rest of us who don't read Arabic... What does it say??

It says to beware of 'traps'. I would imagine it refers to mines, booby traps, improvised explosives...etc. :blink:

I don't know arabic but I'm sure you're right - here's the original sign: 4e2d257e-de6b-4ffd-b398-4a5ab99ba7c4.jpg

The word they've used here (the one of the far left. Arabic reads right to left) is 'sharik' Which translates directly to 'net, snare, or trap'

 

Either way, the meaning is effectively conveyed...no one's gonna go walkin out there. :blink:

There is a sign near here that someone put "eating animals" below stop.

I didn't work here but I did make deliveries to them for a while. It always made me wonder how they kept productivity up. (that's me trying my best to look like a slow employee BTW)

Rough English Translation:

Please use the bathrooms. It is illegal to pee in the plants or toothpaste?

This is what I got

 

Please to use the bathroom prohibited urinates in the plants or pasture

Funny, I got:

 

Dirka dirka, dirka dirka dirka...dirka dirka!

Hmm, I am kinda rusty on spanish since this is a sign in America, paid for with American tax dollars. Let me see. Ahh I got it "Learn English or go back where you came from...please"

I don't know. I guess you go, leave your arm, and come back in a couple hours? The sign is still there, BTW.. We see it every time we drive through..

I go to other countries, and there's always signs in English. I'm glad the people in Germany, Austria, Greece, Egypt...etc., never took that attitude with me while I was there visiting their country.

While caching in the Napa valley last year, I saw a sign on a tattoo shop: "We maim to please."

 

Wish I had got the photo. ;):D

Without getting political, and replying directliy to Sonoran: i'd much rather see a sign paid for by my tax dollars written in German, Ukraine, or Thai anytime.
