saw a sign: SMALL CHILDREN PLAYING .
I slowed down then it occurred to me, I'm not afraid of small children.
Odd what pops into your mind when you haven't been fishing in a while.

Wheeew; you need to get out, reel soon!!!!
It was always the vision of a ?Child Psychiatrist' that interested me. Any I met were already adults...
This just in;
"I have heard that a small hunk of pork-fat tied onto a string and fed to tame ducks will allow one to secure several on a line; perhaps as many as seven."

There's a sign on a dirt road I travel to go fishing that has a sign saying, "Slow kids playing".
I figure the parents who posted aren't all that bright either. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif
"Caution: No Warning Signs"
And anyone who is not afraid of small children must not let them in the house.

That is almost as bad as that darn Indian,Falling rock. They been lookin for him ever since I was a young lad.
My favorite was a sign I saw in Canada that read: CAUTIAN, SIGN IS SHARP
I like the one: Caution: Low flying planes
Okay, Ill make sure to duck if I see one.
The first time I was driving through Arizona there were signs in the desert dry sandy washes..."No Fishing".
I always see "no golfing" signs as parks, even tiny playgroud only parks. I thought it was unnecessary but I went to practice baseball at the park and there was a guy with full equipment, driving like 100 golfballs down the whole field.

Mainstreet, downtown Agness, Oregon on the Rogue River; Danger: Plane Crossing
Slightly different, and not as funny, but my wife spotted a road sign that someone had hit and bent down last week: "Yield". We thought it was funny.

Keepeth they back cast out of the freakin' flora.
What worries me is not the "Slow kids playing" it is what they grow up to become.
Slow men working.......
Now you know I have not fished in way too long...

Harold, it must be a union family.
I say, 'Down with Lady-bird Johnson!' I want more billboards! More signs, Mom & Pop businesses by the road, little shops with signs, color, character, tradition, bring back shaving creams, Hadachol, Brylcream, Dodge, Ramblers, Hudsons,,, Where has it all gone? How can I play roadside games with all the signs gone?
I'm with JC! We used to play the alphabet game as we drove..we depended heavily on road signs!
As young Mike Murgida & I were driving last Saturday, he marveled at a barn painted with "Mailpouch Tobacco". I told him many products were advertised on old barns & how much I missed the old signs. I tried explaining the old "Burma Shave" signs that dotted the countryside...Hopefully, we will see a series still displayed. Too bad, another part of American history & tradition gone by the wayside.

You can call me Mike & you can call me Mikey..Just remember that this site's about sharing!
Here in the UK a popular roadsign is "HIDDEN DIP", never seen the "HIDDEN BREAD STICKS" yet though http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

Born to fish, forced to work.

NOW it makes sense to me...
Thanks I have been pondering that way too long.

A friend of mine stopped in at a small convenience store on the Louisiana/Mississippi border and bought a can of "Blue Bird Imitation Vienna Sausage". Hmmmmm???

PA has these signs that say "Bridge May Be Icy" as opposed to most other states which under similar conditions state "Bridge Freezes Before Road Surface". From the standpoint of formalized logic the statement on the PA signs actually means nothing... But I guess that?s what you get as a philosophy major; a lifetime of relatively useless contemplation.
the sign on my gate that says:
NO TRESPASSING SURVIVORS WILL BE PROSECUTED
------------------
IveofIone-Ivebrakesforlakes
A pond I have access to says trespassers will be shot, those who survive will be shot again
Reminded of the old drunk in canada babbeling on that it can't be done! when asked what he was talking about he pointed to the billboard. it said drink Canada dry.
I've got a business plan for my dream business. Can't get the town fathers to approve it. Massage parlor, sandwich shop, bait shop. " Robb's rubs,subs, and grubs" Hmmmmmm.

"Illegitimus nil Carborundum"
...or DEER CROSSING....I mean, as if those deer can read? Does it mean they HAVE to cross right there? Where are the deer police? Dern fool deer cross where ever they want as far as I can see!!!
There's just no justice!
When I drove around in Alaska, a common sign was "Avalanche Danger - Go Slow". That seemed a rather harsh way for them to try to get rid of tourists. Personally I wanted to drive faster and get the heck out of that section of road.
Church bulletien boards can be pretty interesting sometimes. One in between the research farm I work at and campus put an addition on a few years ago and the sign read "Steeple erection please come" Needless to say it was the dirtiest church sign I had ever seen and my buddy took a picture of it

Hey JC,
Couldn't agree more. The Burma Shave
signs were always a favorite in the 50's.*G*
On curves ahead
Remember, sonny
That rabbit's foot
Didn't save
The bunny
Burma-Shave
Warm regards, Jim
Pete, I am starting to worry about you! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/biggrin.gif

A sign I saw on a litter bin in a Devon town some years ago:
"Do not allow you dog to foul the footway.
Maximum fine at least ?150"

A saw a church sign that said "The most powerful position is on your knees"
We used to have a "Stinker Station" franchise around the West that put up some interesting signs to advertise their filling stations. The one down the road from me says: "Warning to Tourists! Do not Laugh at the Natives". And one as you neared Las Vegas: "Watch for Soft Shoulders and Bare Curves". Any others you can think of?

I went into a restaurant. There was a sign near the restroom that said "Please wait to be seated". I asked for a stall in the back.
Hey Folks,
Another church marqee!*G*

Outback Steakhouse has a sign pointing to the mens room. It say's "Used Beer"
In S.E. Michigan there are two towns, Scofield and Maybee. A sign on the road says "Scofield 10 miles - Maybee 11"
Now that's funny!

Friends don't let friends drive gas hogs
At a cabin, On one of my favorite stretches of Penn's Creek..there is a sign that simply reads
If you post yours, Stay off mine!
I like that guy a lot....Wish more ppl had his mind set!!!.
