Signs Warnings For Fools
Some of the warnings, cautions, instructions and
signs placed on the products or standing erect on the roadside seem so
silly and nonsensical that one cannot help but read them twice in an
attempt to understand them. Yet, few are worth reading again while some
others seem as if the person who placed the sign had no idea himself of
its purpose. The absurdity of these signs is what makes them so
humorous. Here are some funny ones for you:
- A sign placed near the State Prison on Interstate 10, Near
Phoenix, AZ, states that ‘Do Not Stop for Hitchhikers’.
- The sign at Boyne Falls, Michigan, U.S. 131, instructs ‘Do
not pass while opposing traffic present’.
- A warning to tourists at Highway 26, Idaho Falls, Idaho states
that ‘Don't laugh at the natives’.
- There was a sign on the road, which asks us to ‘Ignore this
sign’.
- At entrance to jail in the Sheriff's Dept., Warrden County, IN, a
sign reads – ‘No weapons beyond this point’. It is
written below in Braille too.
- A sign indicating a left bend in the road had ‘Keep Right’
written underneath.
- A warning sign at Rim Drive, Durango, CO, states ‘Do Not Hit
This Sign’.
- In various parts of Jamaica, Speed Bumps are called Sleeping
Policemen. So, you can find warning signs at some places stating
that there are ‘Sleeping Policemen Ahead’.
- Demazin Infant Drops has warning imprinted on it stating that ‘This
formula may cause drowsiness. If affected do not operate heavy
machinery or drive a vehicle’. Of course, baby needs to be told
of this! A similar warning can be seen on Boot's Childrens Cough
Medicine.
- Bayer Aspirin warns the patients that ‘Do not take if
allergic to aspirin’, as if the name leaves any doubt of it
being an Aspirin.
- A packet on Birth Control Pills advises you that ‘Do not use
if you are pregnant, intend to become pregnant, or might be pregnant’.
- Nytol Sleep Aid warns you that the medicine ‘May cause
drowsiness’. It is for that purpose, isn’t it?
- There is a Hair Coloring company that asks you not to use their
product ‘as an ice cream topping’.
- Fritos had a special promotion scheme, which stated that ‘You
could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside’.
