True, and the German town name signs are usally yellow.

Anyways those signs area really funny. The one with cow is great.

Yep, it's in Austria, in the north-east, near the Czech border. And that falling "sheep" is a cow. Not very good editing in this article.

The WIND PASSING sign should be placed in my front yard !!!!

Along with one that says Enter at your own risk ( cookies and milk before bed may be Hazardous to your health ).

What ever happened to the sale sign that read "Panties and Jeans are Down"? That one still gets my vote. The no way out stop sign is pretty good too.

I like #6 because I have seen it on my way to pick up my daughter for Christmas. She was stationed at Fort Dix then. That sign was from that area.

You want to keep the wool from a falling cow??? Really?

I have a whole book dedicated to funny signs like this. Any time I want a good laugh, I pick it up a browse through. Love the no where to go (but up in prayer) sign. The "eat here & get gas" sign is a hoot.

Howie CA,

The best part about the caption for the falling cow was that they wrote "is a cow falls on our car, do we get to keep the wool?"

Since when did cows produce wool? MSN articles are getting worse and worse with editing!!

also above the new mexico sign where u had it as a falling sheep has been corrected to teh falling cow but u ask if u can keep teh wool well thats is magix cow its beef and leather u want this time lol funny story!

To an illiterate, the "no hooking" sign might appear as an "ok to hook" sign... No red circle with a line going through the stick-characters that are"doing it."

I thought that was the purpose of the illiterate-friendly stick figure and symbol representation style signs - to provide a graphic representation of an action for those that can't read. No red circle with line over it means okay to do it; red circle with line through it over the image means not okay to do it.

Btw, the person that created that sign probably got a helluva snicker out of having their sign approved. Looks like something that someone might have submitted as a joke, but the dumb-a$$ed officials took seriously! LMAO

Good one in Ireland; Don't drive off end of peir. The funny(sad) thing is these thing have happened.

City boys!!! That's pretty clearly a cow.

Those signs are outside Red River, NM and are definitely cows. I have vacationed there several times but have never seen a falling cow, have seen several rock slides but no cows.

@Ama: the only real danger of that is whenever Gary Larson vacations there.

10) Falling Cow
We never knew it was so dangerous driving around Taos, New Mexico. If a cow lands on the car, though, do we get to keep the wool?

GoAddams....Never knew cows made wool. I think Jack is a bit more perceptive than that rural education you give yourself credit for.

They correctly changed it from a "sheep" to a "cow". Now they need to change "wool" to "leather".

Sheep? Cow? My bet is that it is a GOAT- one of those insane mountain goats that climb cliffs and walk on the sides of hydroelectric dams. Plus, when I lived in New Mexico I didn't see any cows or sheep, but I did see goats. I highly recommend never killing and gutting a goat in an opened garage in a New Mexico summer. The stench of goat guts cooking on hot cement is bad enough to gag a maggot.

My all-time favorite sign is still one I saw while living in Italy. It shows wind flipping a car off the road. It is on a highway between Napoli and Roma.

The next contest ought to be for foreign signs translated into english by people who really don't speak english well. I recall that there were some hilarious ones that came out of the Olympics in China, and Fortean Times magazine features them regularly.

The comment says cow but asks if they can keep the wool. Never saw wool on a cow.

Really? Cows giving wool??? Maybe we should google our farm animals next time!!!!

Just a cow in sheep's clothing, It gets cold at night they need something to stay warm.

missing is the sign on the way up pikes peak which reads, "big foot crossing"

seriously, even has a bigfoot pic for those who might miss it.

At least they used condoms. Safe Sign Sex

Should we just raise existing taxes or have a special one to provide finds for that.

If we refuse, it's a "WAR" on whom...?

by the looks of all the condoms on the ground I'd say that's a busy beaver.

ooh, ick!!! I wondered what that was on the ground.

Actually, I think the No Hooking one is real. I have heard of these before. They are not city-issue of course, but they are put up by local crime watches. They really do videotape the "acts" and submit them to police. This is usually done in areas that have a severe prostitution problem.

I'd guess it's a sign a local neighborhood watch group put up rather than any agency. Look closely and you'll see it doesn't look too permanent, it's delaminating or some such.

According to "CreepyVanGuy.com":

"A Oakland, California man was a little tired of all the creepy vans rocking and knocking when local hookers would park at a near by vacant lot. So he posted his own home made "NO HOOKING" Anytime Sign...."

The Electricity Drive sign is real, too, I see. It's at the corner of Electricity Drive and Rhodes Drive, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. (Which explains the wording not being what you'd normally expect in the U.S.)

I'm pretty sure the stop/no turn sign was set up just for the contest by a road crew. As for the ones that don't look 'official'- you can get pretty much anything made into a sign without spending much if you design it yourself.

Overall- gave me a few giggles :)

Thanks, NBC-- my daughter was looking at these with me..... a warning about the no hooking sign would've been good.

Clearly his wrist watch was hooked on her belt buckle, while trying to help her up after bending down to get the car keys.

It happens all the time.

Dave, I'm sure your daughter's whole life is ruined now.

Good grief...

1. I would rather explain the sign than the hookers and their activity. 2. The people in neighborhoods with that issue probably don't object to the sign, they have bigger problems than pc police crying over their hurt little sensabilities. 3. You can't think fast enough to explain that sign to your child? Easy peasy, there is the truth: it is a sign for adults letting them know thier bad behavior will not be allowed; the funny route of making a joke like the belt buckle one; and the outright lie: that is obviously a moving van and two people in the back are leaning out the open back door, one holding the other, and "hooking" on to roadside objects, very dangerous to do.

On a side note, has anyone else noticed how calm that falling cow is? It's over the cliff and upside-down, shouldn't it's legs be moving a little? Was it a cow tipping gone horribly wrong, and it hasn't woken up yet? Maybe it is just in deep contemplation wondering if it would have regained it's footing if it HAD been a sheep?

Maybe Dave could explain to his daughter that the sign has nothing to do with sex, it is actually about vehicles.

It's a public sign. go complain to whoever placed it there

Dave, next time look through the web page BEFORE letting your kids see it... common sense goes a long way, try it, you'd be surprised at how well it works.

WHY do people do that?? We have a subway/Jiffy lube combo here, i shake my head every time. I take my car in for the change but i don't eat there.

there's been plenty of variations on #7 as well.

The Sherrill's Eat Here and Get Gas sign is real. I used to pass by there all the time. It was a restaurant and gas station.

Sherrill's Eat Here and Get Gas certainly is real. It is in Indiana on US 31 between Tipton and Westfield. You've just seen it so many times on lists like these that you think it can't possibly be real - but it is.

Its to protect the power lines, not the birds. (who cares about the bullet that will land somewhere several miles away?)

Here in Vermont we have "Moose Crossing" signs. I've yet to see a moose obeying one though I've seen them crossing in other places. Every year or so one blunders into town and creates a stir. The last one I saw was at the Jay Peak ski resort. He didn't have a ticket but seemed to be paying his way by posing for pics for the flatlanders. He was a humongous beast. Sandy Claws could pull his Slay with just one of his sort for the Annual X-mas Eve Winter Solstice Wealth & Toy Redistribution and Celebration Scheme (Sandy Claws is an EEEvil Socialist!).

well we had a bear in town this summer... the deer are a normal thing

Or, its a poor english translation. Why do you find poor grammar to be funny?

hahaha i was thinking the same thing! idiots.

Maybe it was a yak?
