I wasn't sure what to make of it at first. Flying, prancing, dancing, frolicking deer? Ok, but now what? Stop the car and watch the spectacle? Duck? Brace for a collision? Hit the brakes?

DIP makes me hungry. I'm thinking French Onion, no I mean Freedom Onion.

No standing at any time? I wonder if dignitaries have diplomatic immunity? If you've ever wondered why Americans are so productive....you guessed it, the sign!

Most notably:

• New Breakfast Pissa Live Bait

• Christmas in July: All Vibrators 20% off

If you look hard enough you can find beauty in about anything.

"Asteroid Crossing - Mt. Vernon Solar Tourist Society"

I love colleges. They're such great places to find dorky signs. This is compliments of Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. There's an identical sign on the opposite side of the street - apparently asteroids need a very narrow crosswalk. I'd like to know more about solar tourism, myself.

This sign beside USFS road 7592 marks the start of the CC Divide Trail which is a pack trail that runs for many miles along the divide. Those are small caliber, probably .22, bullet holes in it. 7592 is the road that leads to the Patrick's Knob Fire Lookout.

For those who would like to find the trail to the top of Baldy Mountain in the Baldy Mountain roadless area, this USFS sign was placed at the junction of FS road 1025 and FS road 886 to help you. It should display "Road 886" and "Trail No 340" with an arrow. You would take that road for 3 miles to the trailhead. A shotgun was the vandal's choice to destroy this sign.

----------------

At the intersection of three trails inside the TeePee - Spring Creek roadless area are these signs. It is 6.6 miles, 7 miles, or 3 miles (depending on which trail you take) to the nearest road. These signs are at least 50 years old, more likely 70, and their condition is obvious.

If you were to follow the trail marked by the sign in the second photo for 4 1/2 miles west into the Patrick's Knob roadless area, you would see this sign, also in excellent condition despite having been there for half a century. As it shows, the nearest road is 4 1/2 miles away.

Quite close to the High Ridge Road although not visible from it, this sign has aged gracefully also for over 50 years while showing the traveler the path of trail 205 through the Patrick's Knob roadless area.

Sometimes signs display more than one message at a time.

Secret nuclear bunker to the right! Or is that what they want you to think? In fact if I was trying to find a secret nuclear bunker I'd be tempted to go the other way, after all, it's not a secret if there's a huge sign pointing to it is there?

Closing a lane and forcing everyone into the same lane doesn't really ease congestion does it?

This sign creates a bit of a paradox. By saying it isn't in use it is in fact being used, but is inaccurate. A little bit confusing and completely pointless.

No worries if you crash then.

If I saw this I think I'd just deliberately drive on without stopping. Really, how can someone misspell a fuor letter wrod?

Of course, if the sign didn't exist there would be no sharp edge to touch and so there wouldn't need to be a sign warning me of the sharp edges on the sign. Another one of those signs that exists to tell you about itself but quite amusing all the same.

So I see.

Well, it's a 50/50 chance. Anyones guess as to which way 'the way' is here.

These are just some of my favourites, but there's literally hundreds out there. Let me know if I've missed any really classic ones.

 If you are a tree, one day, as any other day, you are minding your own business, photosynthesis-ing, taking in the carbon dioxide,   enjoying the breeze, the crows scratching your branches, dozing of in the afternoon sun, then suddenly there is this sharp distinctive  pain on your trunk, OUCH OUCH OUCH..and you find you are sprouting some synthetic leaf down your trunk 

If you are a postbox, as any other day, you are minding your own business, gaping for the letters, bills, cards that you feed on, waiting patiently for the man in the light blue uniform to come about at 3:30pm and open you up-you enjoy the sunlight beating down your insides as he empty you  of the collection for the day, then suddenly you sense someone standing behind you,  and  you have a few ‘plaster’ on your back and sides….

If you are a road sign, as any other day, you are minding your own business, doing your duty, standing proud, your face all puffy and red , silently telling the road users, back off, back off, no entry, the suddenly this guy come up to you, wind a metal wire around your neck and ….

 If you are a traffic light , as any other day, you are minding your own business, squinting under the hot sun, your favourite song playing in your head, studying the faces of the drivers as they stop or passed you, you panic as this person come up to you ‘red means stop, red means stop’ you give a silent scream, but to no avail, he walk up to you, and wind a noose around your neck

 If you are a bus stop , as any other day, you are minding your own business, grimly taking in the carbon monoxide and the dust as each vehicle whizz past, you enjoy  eavesdropping  on the conversations that takes place under your shade and suddenly someone with no intention of going on a journey,  come up to you and plaster you with stickers of all shapes and sizes

  If you are a car windscreen, as any other day, you are minding your own business, sun bathing, you dare not make any noise  as not todisturb the wiper lying comfortably on you,  occasionally a few leaves fall on you and on bad days you get bird droppings but you take that in your stride, then suddenly the wiper is yanked from her sleep and some piece of paper was slipped in between the two of you

Look around you, do you see trees with buntings on the trunks, do you see ‘tiangs’ ( poles) plastered with  stickers, is your postbox cramped with flyers, cards on your car windscreen ?

The items been promoted include, loans ( legal, of course), tuition centers, house to let, bank lelong, missing pets, delivery of home cooked meal, sewa lorry, launch of  housing area, kenduri kawin bunga mangga plus A4 paper with name of the happy couple and arrow pointing left or right, pasang Astro and many many more…

Can the dewan bandaraya or the parties that are responsible for the upkeep of our bandars and kampungs,  look at  removing  the buntings from the  trees ;  take down the banners on the traffic signs and  traffic lights;  remove unsightly stickers on the post box, road signs , buildings, electrical boxes,  ( leave the bunga mangga alone, please) -  that would clean up the eye sore and beautify our city, towns, housing area, villages  almost instantly

This sign sums up why I love India.

As our Minister had said, the Malay language is written in Roman alphabet, so it would not be too hard for any tourist to understand the road signs. What's more important is to not let our national identity and language be eroded by this kind of move.

I am going to Beijing this coming October, and I dont want to see any Malay road signs, Malay food or even English ones. Part of the joy of travelling is adapting to foreign environment and culture.

Ok breathe... phew...

America is so funny that there will have to be a few parts to this "Funny Town" post, perhaps a couple of states every day? Don't know yet all I do know is that the American founders sure had a seriarse sense of humour!!!

please note that I mean no offence to you if you do actually live in one or more of these towns I am just well, if you do you have to have a sense of humour...

Over in Alaska it must be pretty strange being asked "so where you from" and then having to reply "I live in Dead Horse". Don't know about you guys but aren't the horses scared in that town? I personally wouldn't be able to live with that threat over my head everyday. What is more interesting is Nightmute, phew... ok so no loud ecstatic screams folks, its against the law here - thick walls?

Not so strangely when I googled Arizona's city of Monkey's Eyebrow all I found was Unibrows and the likes there of. Now Nothing seems to be a place that would suit my needs though I must say I don't like the idea of telling someone that I live in nothing. Why? No I mean is Why? It is the towns name and the question mark is just my big Q... do people their find that they ask a lot of questions??? Why? Holy moly I would go nuts.

One thing that must be said surely is that those living in the Colorado town of Hygiene must be really clean and healthy compared to those who are in Hasty. If all else fails at least I now know where I can get a Yellow Jacket! Yeah I know, relief! All of that said Colorado does seem like a nice State all round though I do feel sorry for those in Last Chance, can't be nice living with the idea of that being the last place on earth. Not nice, no.

Colorado is mild compared to Florida, when I visit I just have to go visit Elfers, surely this is the home of Elves? Now my thinking is if there are Elves then there must be Fairies right? hmmm what is true though for Florida is the fact that they have Frostproof and most of their towns/cities are called after special days and food. Do the people who live in Christmas visit Celebration for that special day? Sopchoppy reminds me of Soppy Chops which here in SA means an aerosol with feelings, I doubt there are many South Africans inhibiting your sweet town, you are safe from invasion. Oh before I forget Single for a Reason will just love this, I found where Spuds originated!!! *does party potato dance* No seriarsely I did the dance and no I will not do it again! I am too busy oogling Two Eggs! See that sounded wrong Fried eggs? Is the standard serving at a fry up Two Eggs? Phew people in Florida must get hungry a lot with all these places cropping up.

There I was thinking that Enigma was a music group or rather a puzzling or inexplicable occurrence or situation, nopes its a place! They are very special there. Perhaps people from Experiment go there when things have gone well? I have always wondered which place in the world has the most Simpsons fans and finally I have managed to find out, just so that you know, it is Homerville. I know its quite shocking and I am surprised it took me so long to find that town. The people of Georgia are definitely on different juice, perhaps special juice. Contradictions in life are everywhere, imagine being born in Ideal and living in Quitman, hmmm... "I'm in Quitman, no it is not Ideal" *shrug*...

I would much rather live in Energy or Normal! I mean come on wouldn't you??? Talking about Energy, do they all run off solar panels or do they just bounce around? See why I have so many questions, perhaps I was born in that place Why.

Ok I have another question, perhaps someone can answer it for me. Are there any vegetarians living in Bacon? Does Buddha have a lot of Buddhists, do they all meditate as a natural way of being? I probably would living next to a town called French Lick, come again? Wait, click on the image to make it bigger so you can see what I am talking about, perhaps I am the only not so innocent? Hmm ok perhaps I should just go live in Solitude, they are very calm there ->

All I know is that I can not tell the kids I know that I found Santa Claus, it would break their hearts the poor dear hearts. What I really want to know is, do the youths in Santa Claus spend their days looking for his house? I know, this is quite worrying if you ask me.

The people in Iowa must be really happy (or not...) what with towns like What Cheer but what ever you do, do NOT piss them off, especially in the Beebeetown (Is this where BeeBee guns come from???). Now if you aren't cheerful in What Cheer do you move to Sac City. Between you and me they must work really hard there considering... do that get sac'd often? fired? Here we call it sacking.

Now personally, and please don't mention this to anyone, but I feel that perhaps the state of Kansas is inhibited by aliens? Ok you tell me what you think. First you have Gas, a place filled with aerosols or people with serious rear-ended burps? Then you get Moonlight, a place filled with people who moonlight or permanent full moons or better yet when they moon does light shine from their ... ? Protection, do people who live there need more protection or do they feel by calling their town that that there will be less crime, alien abductions, etc? Wait it gets better...

I think the people over in Skiddy need to move over to Protection, they must be quite scared - I wasn't shocked to find that there are no maps to Skiddy, paranoia anyone? Forget all of that for a moment, Smileyberg anyone? I googled it but only found references to this town. I think perhaps they are scared of Skiddy people finding them and leaving their mark. Speed though sounds interesting, they all must live a really fast paced life compared to those in Zook (see why I think its an alien state? also no maps leading to them hmph). Now what do you think of Yoder? Is it wise or is it not, that is the question along with just how many people are called Luke?

Ever wondered how places were named in the state of Kentucky? Well the forefathers took a dictionary (not very big in those days) and opened it randomly, which ever word stood out that was the places name. Sorry, there are just so many and I can't really leave any out they are that good! Hence now places sit with names like:

• Beauty (filled with beautiful or really ugly people that want to be beautiful???),
• Cranks (am scared to say anything just now they get mean on my ass),
• Combs (least they have pretty hair ok),
• Decoy (to distract you from the next town no doubt),
• Dukedom (think this one is self explanatory, must be an interesting place to live, kinda "low" profile),
• Dwarf (short state?),
• Hazard (ironic when you look at the picture on the right, I refuse to say that it must be quite a hazardarse place to live, definitely not a place I should visit, I may not make it out alive!)
• Hippo (oh dear, so are people from there called Hippo's???)
• Krypton (may all time favourite apart from Yoder I think, begs the question why Superman never found this place *shrug*)
• Mummie (don't be calling any one mummies boy here nor speak to graveyard staff... seriously don't do it!
• Mud Lick (I am not joking theres your proof!!! eeeeeew unless they call chocolate mud there? Chocolate always calms me...)
• Oddville (hmmmm do I really need to say anything..? no didn't think so...)
• Ordinary (how boring)
• Petroleum (was this where the jelly was invented???)
• Ready (aaaaah perhaps a town I can deal with rofl)
• Relief (people from Ready move here once they are tired of being ready?)

Yeah we like Kentucky, specially the chicken.

No, the British aren't safe either... that's coming soon as well...

I'm not a raving socialist or liberal or leftist or anything like that. I understand and accept that some people are poor, some people are less poor, and so on up the social ladder. But it is particularly striking in a city with a GDP per capita of US$26,000 that Hong Kong still has its fair share of unfortunate people that appear to have fallen through whatever safety nets the government is responsible for maintaining/providing - with my tax dollars. What is even more frustrating is the fact that the government generates massive budget surpluses most years.

What really irks me about the picture is that the women is trying to avoid walking near the beggar. This is the attitude of the government and most of the population.

"Extreme Fire Hazard. Don't Even Fart In The Forest"

What I'd really like to know is how they plan to enforce this one?

"Excuse me ma'am, I've detected the odor of cabbage and brimstone here on your campsite. Is that just your charming personality, or are you flatulent?"

"There's plenty of room for all God's creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes."

I love Canadians. As you'll see over the next few days, they have all the best signs.
