We all happen across them from time to time. Little pockets of humour spread all over the countryside. It doesn’t matter whether it is in a remote little village or on your everyday travels; a funny sign, whether intentional or not, can often make your journey memorable – or at the very least, liven up your day. This week’s funny signs were compiled by Devlin Nightingale.

The following funny signs were sent in over the past week by our readers:
Andre Roodt sent in this sign but didn’t say where he was. From the looks of things that extinguisher has been missing for quite some time. About as much time as it takes to get a sign printed instead of, you know, getting a new fire extinguisher.
Michael Swain saw this sign and thought it would amuse us. One the one hand it is explicit and informative and on the other completely beside the point. I don’t care about your fisheries when there is a chance I might die!
Penny Paterson came across this sign on a recent visit to Sai Kung (in the New Territories), Hong Kong. Is this the surest path to enlightenment? I believe this king wasn’t the most charming fellow and was very indecisive. He would always go back and forth on issues.
Zunaid Shah spotted this sign (under the stone) at the Protea Hotel Winkler in White River. It never ceases to amaze me how technology just keeps getting better and better.
Ros Mitchell sent in this picture taken at Mancora Beach, in the north of Peru. I don’t think you really want to be walking around without an umbrella then.
Sandy Lubbe came across this sign on one of the little islands off Monkey Bay, Malawi. I guess Tony was just sick of ‘Pano’ doing whatever he wanted, wherever he wanted to.
Eckart Naumann snapped this up in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Nothing like a cheetah to enforce the rules. Unless of course you think you can outrun him? Without your car.
John Louis Nel took this when he was awaiting friends at the Cape Town International Airport. I have some advice for future parents or marriage candidates: Always consider the abbreviations. John, for instance, should never name his children anything beginning with the letter ‘A’.
Catherine Reiter discovered this sign in the Pretoria CBD close to UNISA. I guess if you truly want to live like there’s no tomorrow you could go get a drink at this bottle store. Who knows? There just might not be one for you.
Pop in again next week for another dose of funny. Alternatively, if you think you have happened upon a sign worthy of this space please email it to [email protected]
