Signs of Las Vegas

If ever a city “signed” its people, Las Vegas is right up there at the top of the list. Signs are everywhere and passersby are inundated. Though some might complain that traffic signs and airport signage isn't the greatest, the billboards and other signs we've seen are certainly over the top. I'll save the billboards for later … they're a whole post unto themselves, but here's a sample of other signs we've seen in Vegas that made us shake our heads a bit or at least warranted a chuckle.  

Signs of Humor

I collect photos of signs, ads and even product labels as we travel around. From time to time, we like to share them. Signmakers and ad creators have a great sense of humor and they're not afraid to share it. Sometimes, the intent is not humor at all, but we still find them funny. See what you think.

Found in the Ladies Room at South Australian Maritime Museum

Not quite an FBI Most Wanted poster, but when you're wanted, you're wanted. Of course, you'd have to know what a goanna is in the first place.

I think they mean tennis court, but it probably applies elsewhere, too.

This sign used to sit in front of Building 19 in Walpole, Massachusetts. There were lots of car honks heard as people passed by … including ours.

Makes you want to eat Chinese, doesn't it?

Great name for a bakery.

That would be a “wild, untamed pick-up truck” in the States.

There are lots of “right side of the road” drivers visiting Australia. The Aussies don't take any chances.

This sign was on a ute (pick-up truck). Wonder if he uses it en route?

Our thoughts exactly sometimes.

Signs of Humor

I've posted photos of animal signs and “dangerous” signs in the past. Sometimes we get a real chuckle out of the signs we see. In some cases, humor is the intent. In other cases, it's a case of language differences or just the subject involved. You'll see what I mean when you take a look at these signs we've collected along the way.  

Days and Ways to Celebrate

A daily list of mostly obscure holidays and fun ways to celebrate them.

Blah, Blah, Blah Day

This is the day to do all those things that people have been nagging you to do...clean your garage, fix the sprinklers, empty out the attic. Go ahead, give it a go OR wait till next year.
