Confusing Signs

Because I’m sure you’re all sick to death of reading about my social life, I’m going with a completely non-personal, just amusing post today.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!

----------------------------------------------------------
Spotted in a toilet of an office:
TOILET OUT OF ORDER. PLEASE USE FLOOR BELOW

In a Laundromat:
AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES: PLEASE REMOVE ALL YOUR CLOTHES WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT

In a department store:
BARGAIN BASEMENT UPSTAIRS

In an office:
WILL THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE STEPLADDER YESTERDAY PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR FURTHER STEPS WILL BE TAKEN

In an office lunchroom:
AFTER TEA BREAK STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE TEAPOT AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD

Outside a secondhand shop:
WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?

Notice in health food shop window:
CLOSED DUE TO ILLNESS

Spotted in a safari park:
ELEPHANTS! PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR

Seen during a conference:
FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN'T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE FIRST FLOOR

Notice in a field:
THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES

On a repair shop door:
WE CAN REPAIR ANYTHING. (PLEASE KNOCK HARD ON THE DOOR; THE BELL DOESN'T WORK)

My favorite is the "We repair anything! (Please knock because the doorbell is broken.)" HA!

When my son was just learning to read, he was also just learning to use the mens room alone. He saw the sign on the paper towel dispenser: "Pull Down. Tear Up."

He was so proud of himself!

Well, there are enough people who act like they don't know they have children, maybe that announcement is supposed to remind them . . .?

Okay, you know it's a good list of funnies when you say to yourself, "This line is my favorite, no wait, this one is, no wait..."

Actually, it reminds me of how my students write! I should repost that list of student paper errors one day because damn, were those amusing.

Awww...Paige! You just became my favorite blogger today!

DP and I are getting together after work this afternoon. There was a card on my computer from him this morning - one of those blank inside cards. He'd just written, "WOW!"

See this stupid grin on my face?
