Signs.
They're everywhere.
Small town Minnesota shop,
with a little bit of everything.
Yes, books,
lest you miss them amongst all the, um,
stuff.
The bigger and higher the sign,
the greater the patriotism?
Practical signs, this one multi-tasking in
London.
We need these in America. Those butts on
the ground and
gum on your shoe are so unattractive.
Advertising.
Because everything sells better with a
Santa on it.
Perplexing signs.
Why do these steps in Savannah, Georgia,
require a warning sign?
They look to be in excellent shape.
Signs to make us laugh
(Needs a little grammar work on pronoun agreement, though)
And signs to remind us how to live.

A varied collection of signs.
ReplyDeleteLove the signs, but I must say that books and stuff is my kind of shop.
ReplyDeleteThat shop looks very intriguing with the books and stuff...I'd be browsing through to see what I could find. Fun signs.
ReplyDeleteGreat post that made me smile. I too loved the look of the shop, I would love a good rummage in there.
ReplyDeleteMost amused by the sign about the historic steps.
ReplyDeleteHad to smile at some of these signs. And was heartened by the Buddha quote.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, it seems me that European signs are much more informative
ReplyDeleteThere would be a bunch of us rummaging in that shop. I think maybe the risers on those steps wouldn't meet current specifications?
ReplyDeleteWe need the gum+butts poles in Australia too. People are too lazy to walk to a rubbish bin to throw their gum away!
ReplyDeleteSigns eh?
ReplyDeleteWe do have BINS for cigarette butts and for disgusting gum chewers and then spitters
here in Australia - unfortunately people can't see them - especially female office
workers on breaks for sneaky smokes!
A word of warning: Don't chip the smartly dressed office workers regarding dropping
their cigarette butt on the ground even though the bin is right next to them. You'll get
a lesson in foul language!
Strange how a sign "United We Stand" points to the Stars and Stripes????
Funny business this sign stuff: Sensible and advisory signs are ignored, idiotic nonsensical
signs are noticed. ????????????????
Cheers

From a lovely sunny Brisbane autumn day.
Ooh, I would love to browse the book shop!
ReplyDeleteThese are all such fun signs, Cynthia. A lot of time I don't notice them, so it was fun to see what you pointed out.
ReplyDeleteNice signs - I have a bit of a fondness for industrial signage!

Funny collection of signs.
ReplyDeleteGreat sign, had me laughing. I'm sure there are books in the shop somewhere...
ReplyDeleteA great collection of signs!
ReplyDeleteI look for unusual signs.These are good ones!
ReplyDeleteGreat signs, I have never understood why people spit out their gum :(
ReplyDeleteWell done! A favorite of mine was at a freeway rest stop in Montana which advised to STAY ON THE SIDE WALK AS RATTLESNAKES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN THE AREA."...:)
ReplyDeleteInteresting signs. I love that funny one having someobe not right in the head :)
ReplyDeleteI guess we also need that gum bin.Ugh I sooo hate it when I step on a gum with my new shoes.
