SciFi and Fantasy Art Amusing Signage by Dave Cripps

Some signs are self explanetary like STOP, YEILD, MEN AT WORK (Occasionaly). Others seem to be just for the amusement of the sign maker!

Slow Down Children? Are they going too fast?

Slow Ramp? I'd hate to see a fast ramp!

And the brilliant Beware of the Ha-Ha.

Though a Ha-Ha is a ditch dug to keep animals out of your stately home and allows you to see the animals roaming about with an unobstructed view.

29 Jun 2009	John R Farley Jr	Loading... These are funny. I wonder if people actually read what they wrote for a sign. In the Rocky Mountains you will see an informative sign that says, "Rocks." Thanks for the tip. We also have signs that are broken up in the wrong place so they read funny like, "Slow Children at Play." Instead of, Slow. Children at play. Or on bike paths where you’re supposed to stop at any intersection, but somebody always writes, Stop Ahead. Except they think you’re looking down and don’t see the two words together so it actually reads, "Ahead, Stop." Dave Cripps replies: "There’s always the people who add to the signs. I saw a STOP sign which read: ’STOP’ "HAMMER TIME’ "
1 Jul 2009	Chris H.	Loading... Why I find the poorly spaced ’Pork in today’ sign funny on the way into Evesham I’ll never know Dave Cripps replies: "The same reason you get the urge to insert an ’I’ in a To Let sign "
26 Jul 2009	Shelz Keast	Loading... The Ha-Ha one’s the best. I saw a no ’Puffin’ one in Alaska. It’s the Kenai penisular’s equivalent of the no smoking sign. It had a puffin with a cigarette instead of just a plain ciggie. It won’t be going up on EW- copyright and all that. Dave Cripps replies: "LOL. Maybe it was no Biker Puffins. They can cause a lot of damage doing their James Dean thing "
6 Aug 2009	Danny Black Bird Phoenix Irimia	Loading... laughts like a lunatic Hahahaaaa... Really funny!!! Dave Cripps replies: "There’s always more to add. Like ’Police Speed Check Ahead’ Why are the Police going too fast?"
16 Nov 2009	Tom Draco Noir Taylor	Loading... Beware of Ha-Ha! I know some folks are more reserved, but would a slight giggle be acceptable? Very funny signs indeed!- cant help a Ha ha or two!My friend and I once changed the lettering on a fried chicken sign that said "Liver or gizzard dinner" to" Give er a lizard dinner" the management busted us- they were not amused. Dave Cripps replies: "Apparently lizard tastes a little like chicken. Oh managers eh? No sense of humour!"
