    Good road signs

    I think bmills posted a funny one the other day and then tonight while I was driving home I spotted a real peach. It alternated between,

    You're not Rudolph & Don't drive lit

    Watchaya got?
    Brandine: Now Cletus, if I catch you with pig lipstick on your collar one more time you ain't gonna be allowed to sleep in the barn no more!
    Cletus: Duly noted.

    a long-ago GF introduced me to this game. driving around, we'd see various road signs. and in her best Norma Desmond, she'd break into, "If my vagina was a road sign it would say [whatever the road sign said]." she was fucking hilarious and we could spend hours doing this happily.

    depends 100% on your partner, but i recommend trying it, with or without a buzz. you'll be surprised how well it works for many common (and not so common) signs.

    Not a road sign, but a restaurant had a big electric sign that said Cocktails. The first few letters burned out and stayed that way for a couple years. Finally they fixed it. Then the last 5 burned out all at once so the sign brightly proclaimed: Cock. That got fixed before the next time I drove past.

    Moved from very small town to very, very large city after college. Immediately noticed massive red signs hanging over the road saying


    NO

    33 years later I'm still not entirely sure.

    I posted this before. The village of South Lincoln, VT had "Dry Heaves" signs in the 70s, early 80s. There was a section with spots next to the river that would raise up year round and they apparently didn't think a frost heaves sign was appropriate in the summer.

    There's a road leading to one of the lower trailer parks in town here and it's got a "Dead End" sign with an arrow pointing towards it. It's just brutal.

    Nobody actually did what it said, though

    They should combine their signs with the ones I posted above. Dry Humps.

    My sister had a great Dad joke when we were kids.
    Every time we drove by a "Slow Deaf Child" sign she'd say "It's bad enough the kid is blind but why do they have to call him stupid"?

    Driving in France, 130 kph and there's a huge red sign with lots of words printed in white and a big slash through the whole thing and I can't understand a single word. I keep waiting for the pavement to suddenly end or to be crushed by a giant falling rock but nothing happens. I have no idea what the sign was about.
