What is the most ridiculous sign you have ever come across? It could be a billboard, a poster, a road sign, anything you can imagine.

There's a No Left Turn sign right after a left turn which is difficult to see. The only possible reason it was erected was to confuse the hell out of taxi drivers.

Does it have to be one I've seen in real life? If not... then THIS:

It's not photoshopped... but I can't find the original article about it...

I have seen a street with a one way sign and a No Entry sign on the same side.

Warning sign on a chainsaw:
"Do not attempt to stop with hands, face or genitals".

I wish that was made up.

....as opposed to any other part of the body? Because we all know its perfectly acceptable to stop a chainsaw with your legs or torso.

I once seen a chubba chub (lollipop) ad in a train station that had a picture of 3 woman sucking lollipops and in big red letters it said "The pleasure of sucking"

"No"

Sign in downtown Atlanta. That's all it said. No. No symbols, no pictures, no objects of interest around it that might have been crucial to the sign's intent. Just No.

To this day I still wonder what it meant.

There was a painting on the road that had this (excuse my terrible diagram) One way --> <--- One way.

Try to figure that out.

I forgot to tell a sign! Here goes. I was walking along and I saw a sign in front of a roundabout that said:

"dead end, no U-turn upon entry."

On my way down to New Orleans we passed through the bible belt and one sign had a pair of eyes and it said "Jesus is always watching you" and I looked back as we passed it and on the other side was an ad for a strip club...evidently Jesus is only watching all the heathans who live up North...

In the bible belt in Kansas (anywhere west of Topeka), there is a sign near Abilene that says, and I quote:

"Pornography destroys, Jesus saves."

Less than 50 feet away from that sign was an adult book/movie store.

This is more funny than weird but I saw a sign in the zoo that read "those who throw objects at the alligators will be asked to retrieve them" another one read "trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be tracked down and shot again!"

In the middle of Iowa there is a sign that says in DIGITAL letters "railroad x-ing". There was no railroad for five miles in any direction.

The Billboard with the following phrase...

Santa's not coming this year
Milk can make you impotent, soy brings joy

Caused a lot of issues with people, mainly parents trying to explain it to their kids.

Thats why those signs are there...Yeah, its still funny, but they are put there on purpose =X

I've never seen signs like these in real life so I can't really comment on these...except that when I was little I thought the "Slippery When Wet" Road Signs of the Car with the squiggles under it, were actually weird box/car things on tentacles. Yeah, overactive imagination >_<

Not really a sign, but I have seen a warning notice on a bus shelter that read "Vandalism is a crime!". Someone scribbled "not" on the sign so now it reads:

Vandalism is a not crime!

Idiots. Giving Grammar Nazis free ammunition since 1990.

Seriously, there was this burger king near my home. It had a sign "Now hiring Closers", But after the "C" fell off it seemed more accurate for a burger king

It meant, No we don't have enough time to make a complete sign.

Or

No, we will not make a funny sign for you to laugh at.

Someone should start a thread about that sign and all the things it could mean

Not a sign, but honest to gods in our kitchen as we speak.

Supermarket own brand pistachio's - "May contain nuts".

Pretty sure it's on the peanut butter as well.
